Summary: a very well written, and informative book
Comment: Michael Feinstein writes a very informative as well as entertaining book, tha gives an insiht to famous composers and lyricist of the golden age, like George and Ira Gershwin, Cole Porter, and Jerome Kern. It's a lot about his life experiences mmeeting and befriending Ira Gershwin. It's well worth reaing, and there's many interesting stories he has to tell, at times happy, sometimes sad, as well as humerous.

Summary: Wonderful...Fantastic...I Loved it!
Comment: This is my favorite auto-biography in the whole world bar none. I savored every delightful page. I would make this required reading at every music school in the country if I had my way. It is as honest and no-holds-barred as any book I have ever read. He tells all about himself and about George and Ira Gershwin, Harrey Warren, etc. etc. I live for the day Feinstein releases his *next* book. (He says in this book that another book will be forthcoming). I should mention that I sing and play piano myself (just for fun, not profit) and this probably made this book much more meaningful to me than it might to a normal lay reader. Having said that, I consider this book a classic that will be savored and enjoyed for many centuries to come. I bought every CD Michael ever made after reading this book.

Summary: One of the most enjoyable books I've ever read, a must read
Comment: If you are a lover of good music and equally good writing, then "Nice Work If You Can Get It" is a must. The light and breezy style of Mr. Feinstein makes this one of the most enjoyable books I have ever read. I literaly couldn't put it down and once I finished reading it, I started reading it again. Each reading provides me with new insite into this most talented of performers. His stories are fresh and informative. It's hard to believe that Michael didn't personally know the great songwriters and composers of the golden age. His writes about George and Ira Gershwin as if they were beloved members of his family, particularly his love for Ira who became almost a second father to him. If you are a lover of good music and good writing then "Nice Work If You Can Get It" is a must. Sit back, open the book and prepare yourself for a wonderful time, again and again.
