Act on the sage advice that Irving Berlin gave the late George Gershwin.
When Berlin & Gershwin first met, Berlin was famous but Gershwin was a struggling young composer working for thirty-five dollars a week in Tin Pan Alley, impressed by Gershwin’n ability, offered Gershwin a job as his musical secretary at almost three times the salary he was then getting.
” But don’t take the job, ” Berlin advised.
” If you do, you may develop into a second-rate Berlin. But if you insist on being yourself, someday you’ll be a first-rate Gershwin.”
Gershwin heeded that warning and slowly transformed himself into one of the significant American composers of his GENERATION
