Does anyone know the origins of the tune "Stardust" (Hoagy C.)? I seem to
remember reading that he had said it came to him one cold and starry night
while he was scurrying across campus (U of Indiana) as an up-tempo number.
Another story I've heard is that he wrote it in the "Book Nook" pub on
campus where he played all the time. 

Are there any online references to the origins?
