Dear Kurt,
Really???
I suggest that it should be 1932 as it was not written/copyrighted (Hoagy
Carmichael, music-Stuart Gorrell, lyrics) until 1930.
A  Google search will probably pinpoint when it was adopted as the 'state
song".
Kind regards,
Bill.
PS: I hope that this does not re-start the thread about it having been
written originally with a girl in mind.
