My father wrote many of his most famous songs over seventy years ago, and yet the interest in his music is greater than ever. Music was his consuminginterest, and he considered himself a guy who was a "craftsman"; atunesmith, who loved working to find the melody that he felt fit one of themany song ideas that were forever buzzing around in his head.

With this web-site, we want to share information about Hoagy Carmichael, and keep you informed of coming events.

In addition, we hope that oursocial media pages will become a place where musicians from all over the world will connect, share ideas and create music together. My father would have enjoyed that immensely.

Our thanks for your continued interest in my father's songs. It was themusic that made him tick, and I am sure that he would be a happy fellow ifhe could see this web-site, and know that people still enjoyed his work.
