[78-L] Another song with the "wrong title"

[Cary Ginell]

When I worked for Alfred Publishing, we used "Star Dust," which was how Hoagy originally copyrighted it. In Dick Sudhalter's bio of Carmichael, he uses "Star Dust" throughout, but in the index lists both "Star Dust" and "Stardust," probably in case someone was searching for it using that spelling.
