    		George and Ira Gershwin's 1922 song "Mischa, Jascha, Toscha, Sascha" tells the story of four Russian-born violinists who make names for themselves in America. They become famed virtuosos on the stage of Carnegie Hall, yet never forget their roots: http://www.nextbook.org/cultural/feature.html?id=7
