- Been a long time since I did this old evergreen..... "Summertime" is an aria composed by George Gershwin for his 1935 opera "Porgy and Bess". The lyrics are by DuBose Heyward, the author of the novel Porgy on which the opera was based, although the song is also co-credited to Ira Gershwin . Truly a masterpiece of minor harmonies and major interplay of melodies. So let's play with the accompaniment, too. And rhythms..... and lots of drawbar magic, plus pedal fun from the original score. "Life is Good" with such fine compositions as this, from Mr. "G". Still lots of snow here, so Summertime would be quite welcome, today, 2/4/2021. 😎🌴🎹
RIP Mike. Thank you for all your videos.

You're not the only one waiting for Summertime, if the weather is as good as this performance it will be an absolutely scorcher. Thank you from the East of Scotland where we have three days of rain, sleet and snow forecast !!!
You were missed yesterday. Thought maybe that snow “ Gobbled you up. “ 😂😂😂☃️❄️☃️I’d trade you for one good snow here in Oregon. We’ve had rain ☔️ everyday for a week now and snow only on Mt. Hood. Oh! We had a frosting before the rain and just enough snow for 2 snowmen about a ft.tall. ☃️❄️☃️ Was melted with in hours. Love 💕 this song and what you can do with it ,Mike. It’s Beautiful just like Life. ♥️🎼🎶♥️Sincerely , Chris. Portland ,🥀🥰😎

How i wish you stop that fast hammering on the keys several times in every video, it's absolutely awful. Apart from that it is amazing.
keep wishing... after 62 years of being an organist, that's my style. :)
