Note: This is the label from a piano roll of the piece. The "Played by George Gershwin" may be deceptive, as Gershwin was working for Aeolian at the time of composition, and often roll arrangers simply attempted to copy the style of performance of the pianist working off a manuscript or the published sheet music. Duplicating Gershwin's style was no mean feat. Whether this roll is actually Gershwin's playing, perhaps a reduction from a Duo-Art roll of his performance, is unclear.
Performer: Bill Edwards
