Star Dust
On his 80th birthday, Carmichael said “I’m a bit disappointed in myself. I know I could have accomplished a hell of a lot more…I could write anything any time I wanted to. But I let other things get in the way…I’ve been floating around in the breeze.”

did you listen to this last night?
Hoagie's the guy that wrote "Lazybones" and we DID listen to him last night—he's the guy with the song about his big lady, hugging her with chalk, and finding another guy. He also wrote "Georgia on my Mind" and worked a lot early in his career with Louis Armstrong.
