THE GERSHWINS AND THEIR GOLD MEDAL

  Carl Honore writes: "Of interest to Neil Shafer, Serge
  Koussevitsky conducted the premiere of George Gershwin's
  Second Rhapsody in Blue in Boston's Symphony Hall in
  1932.

  Of interest to the numismatic community at large, George
  Gershwin and his brother Ira were honored with a gold
  medal a while back;  it was a congressional Gold Medal
  similar to that awarded to John Wayne."
