Long Live The Marx Brothers.

Geniuses collide. There is something wonderful in knowing the Marx Brothers, particularly Harpo and Groucho, hung out with people like George and Ira Gershwin as social friends and co-admirers. It was a very small group of highly witty and wry writers and performers, in the age of newsprint and creativity.

There's a story out there that says that Chico was the top honky-tonk piano player on the lower east side, and when the Marxes went vaudeville, he helped groom his replacement. A kid with the name of George. Chico could teach him about women and cards and how to be funny at the piano, but larger musical ideas, that was a gift from God. I hope the story's true

Here's Gershwin's detailed account of his taking over for Chico Marx: gershwin100.wordpress.com/2023/01/24/aint-love-grand/

[@kevinwachs5905]

Chico could not have been Gershwin's predecessor in a piano playing job in 1917. By 1917 The Four Marx Bros were headliners in big-time vaudeville in their play Home Again. Chico had piano playing jobs around New York only during the first half of the first decade of the twentieth century. By the last few years of that decade he had moved to New Jersey, then Philadelphia, then Pittsburgh. In Philadelphia and Pittsburgh he worked for a music publisher as a manager. He entered vaudeville in 1910 in a two man act, and joined his brothers' act in 1912.

'Harpo Speaks' is one of the three or four funniest books I ever read, History only comes alive through biographies.
