	Local 802 News - Publications & Press Releases
		Swift's generation of artists wrote popular and jazz-influenced music, and musicals, in response to their time's cultural changes, very much in the tradition of the European classics.
		Kay's mother was a cultured and spirited Englishwoman whom her father had met on an ocean liner returning to the U.S. Kay attended performances at the Metropolitan Opera from a young age, where she met no less than Puccini and Humperdinck.
		Kay had become rehearsal pianist for Rodgers and Hart's "A Connecticut Yankee" on Broadway in 1927, which took considerable time from her family responsibilities; however, it was her affair with Gershwin that broke up the marriage in 1934.

	Can This Be Love?: Tunes, Tomes, & Videos on TheaterMania.com
		Swift wrote a handful of songs (such as "Can This Be Love?," "Whistling in the Dark," and "Can't We Be Friends?") that are familiar from recordings, cabaret interpretations, and the waves of Muzak that form the soundtrack for contemporary urban life.
		Both Swift's marriage to Warburg and her professional momentum appear to have been in jeopardy from the moment she crossed paths with George Gershwin; when the two met at a party in 1925, their attraction was, reportedly, immediate and evident to all in the room.
		Perhaps Swift's availability after she divorced Warburg made her less attractive and more intimidating to him, or perhaps they both were astute enough to figure the lousy odds of Gershwin curbing his well-known yen for variety.

		Born into a cultured New York family of modest means, young Katharine Faulkner Swift (1897-1993) often accompanied her father, a music critic, to performances at the Metropolitan Opera, developing a passion for Wagner.

		Swift outlived Gershwin by 56 years, and was of invaluable help to biographers, filmmakers, musicians, and scholars who sought to understand his working methods and recreate his performing style.

		In answer to my question, Swift reminded me that this is only for pain which originates in the back of the head.
