Anu, an off-thread comment.
George Gershwin didn't receive the Pulitzer Prize for "Of thee I sing" as it wasn't then awarded for music. His brother (who was often, in his absence, unwittingly, referred to as George and his lovely wife Ira), George Kaufman and Morris Ryskind got the prize, but George later received an honorary prize (posthumously, I think).
"Of thee I sing" is now available on CD and is well worth a listen. Enjoy!
