Today's Piano Puzzler

From the Archives.  The contestants are Olivia and Ben Lawson from Yorktown, Virginia.  The composer style is one of my favorite composers -- though I missed it.  The hidden song, though, was very easy to pick out – however I couldn’t think of the name for the longest time, but then I recognized it.  And was right.  But although it’s from the Great American Songbook, I don’t think its title will necessarily be known to many.  (One comment:  when finally explaining the famous team who wrote the song, host Fred Child screwed up.  Oddly, he used the lyricist’s first and last name for both people – like saying it was written by “Robert and Elisberg” -- and accidentally left out the more-famous composer.)
