PS: The hidden trigger at the back of me ole brainbox tells me that there is
an article in an IAJRC Journal, The Mississippi Rag, or perhaps Downbeat,
which makes a claim for an earlier composer for "Stardust'.  Something along
the lines of "I wrote Stardust" says............ Another disgruntled punter?

I know that it will be hard to believe but, I actually wrote  "Stardust" in 
about 1955.  Then I was shocked to find out that someone (Hoagy) had beat me 
to it.
