Summertime and the livin’ is easy …

Granted, I’m not Porgy. And my partner ain’t Bess. Fish may be jumpin’, but the cotton isn’t high in my part of Canada or anywhere else in our great nation.

But George Gershwin grew up in New York City. And Montreal is WAY north of cotton country.

I know many more Pierres than Porgys. And the only Bess I’ve ever encountered was my late mother’s maternal aunt.
