Gingervitis

Ginger Rogers, as you know,

Made some flicks for RKO,

Where she soon became a pair

With immortal Fred Astaire.


Her fans in droves remain devoted

To screenplays that should not be quoted,

Where characters, as if by chance,

Are always breaking into dance.


In short, she was a shining icon

Before the days of clicking “like” on.

Eugène Ysaÿe (16 July 1858 – 12 May 1931) was a Belgian virtuoso violinist, composer, and conductor.

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Discipleship


The spirit of Eugène Ysaÿe

Is still around, and this is why,

He mentored Gingold, then it befell

That Gingold mentored young Josh Bell.
