"Turn on, Tune in, Drop out." This was Timothy Leary's advice, which was very popular after Richard Nixon was elected president. The same might be advised for Trump's election. I did not take the last part of Leary's advice and it was a bumpy ride. That was nothing compared to the ride we will be on for Trump's presidency. Enjoy the music!

Stardust
"Stardust" was one of the favorite songs of the 20th century. Composed in 1927 by Hoagy Carmichael with lyrics added in 1929 by Mitchell Parish. Just about every musician has recorded this song. It also became popular as an instrumental tune, notably by many sax players, early big bands, and jazz bands.
This is the great composer Hoagy Carmichael playing his song "Stardust" on the piano and his vocal version of Mitchell Parish's words. Hoagy originally called the song "Star Dust."
This next version is perhaps the most famous version of "Stardust." Sung by the great Nat King Cole.
