Mrs. Howard Hawks peered out of the window and said, "Who, my dear, is that odd little man rummaging around in your garden?" "That," said Mrs. Hoagy Carmichael, "is my husband." Careers have begun in many ways but few begin on the basis of such a classical faux pas. The conversation ended in a film contract for the odd little man, for Howard Hawks was looking for an odd little pianist for a film. Hoagy’s musical career goes back much further than his film activities, and it was in 1937 that he wrote the fabulous "Stardust," the song that sold fifteen million records. 4ZB features Hoagy Carmichael at 4.45, a oe A LE AT ATR.
