On January 23, 1910, Django Reinhardt, Belgium born Romani-French jazz guitarist and composer considered the most significant European Jazz musician, was born in Liberchies, Pont-à-Celles, Belgium (d. 1953). He was a major influence on Willie Nelson as this song shows. Nelson recorded an entire album of older standards entitled 'Stardust'.

Great to hear Django Reinhardt playing one of my favorite songs, SGT (Join to see)!
“‘Stardust’ is a popular song composed in 1927 by Hoagy Carmichael with lyrics added by Mitchell Parish in 1929. Carmichael recorded the song, originally titled ‘Star Dust’, at the Gennett studio in Richmond, Indiana. The ‘song about a song about love’, played in an idiosyncratic melody in medium tempo, became an American standard and is one of the most recorded songs of the 20th century with over 1,500 recordings. In 2004, Carmichael's 1927 recording of the song was one of 50 recordings chosen by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry.”
Hoagy Carmichael is the face that Ian Fleming saw when he created the James Bond character. The photo is of Carmichael and the sketch is Ian Fleming’s vision of Bond! Pretty close, I think!
