Guess this is gonna be my o/t mulligan. Maybe we can get Leon to create a Pre-War Jazz section up there next to the Memorabilia Forum. I'd be in there like a dirty shirt.

Hoagy Carmichael was ultra-cool. You can see for yourself in the great The Best Years of Our Lives . I always liked Nat King Cole's Stardust best, that is until I heard Louis Armstrong do it. You can hear it at the Red Hot Jazz Archive (need Real Player, scroll down 'til you hit Stardust http://www.redhotjazz.com/lao . You jazz guys will love this site. Lots of bios, discographies and tunes you can play on demand by everyone from Jelly Roll to Django. Here's Hoagy's main page:
