œI Love a Piano, to be presented by Act 1 DeSales University Theatre, is a triumphant singing and dancing tribute to this genius of the American stage.
When asked about Irving Berlins place in American music, fellow giant Jerome Kern responded, œIrving Berlin has no place in American music”he is American music.
