Well, the New Year is upon us. Every year for the past several years I have usually played a special big band show called 1945 - 1946 New Year's Dancing Party. I ran this last year and it is still available. I didn't want to run this again so I am going to repeat a show from 2014. Back in November, Hoagy Carmichael had a birthday. Since there were other things going on, I missed doing a show on him. So today's show is one I recorded in 2014. It is a Hoagy Carmichael Celebration. Hoagy composed quite a few songs that are now part of the Great American Songbook. I think you'll enjoy this look at the music and career of the late, great composer, Hoagy Carmichael as we ring in the New Year. Happy Holidays everyone and thank you for listening.
