Re: Random mandolin sightings
You know what, I didn't know he was from Indiana. I did know another great songwriter of his era was - Cole Porter - though some say he was from Peru. I didn't know Hoagy appeared on "Laramie" (only vaguely aware of the show, anyway, and never watched it), and I was surprised to see, when I looked him up on imdb.com, that he was a regular, with 23 appearances on the show during its four seasons. Also, his appearance in THAHN was only his second acting credit, his first as an uncredited piano player in "Topper" seven years earlier, in 1937. After THAHN his screen career took off, and he worked pretty steadily as an actor for the next 15 years. This is the appearance that sticks in my mind, though.
But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. - Dennis Miller
