Paying tribute to a Hoosier legend!

I thought you guys might appreciate this- it comes from the University in my hometown. What do you think? The outfit he's wearing looks pretty good, considering it's made of metal.
Legend has it, he composed "Stardust" in a building in Bloomington- the building still stands I do believe.

No doubt about it -- he wrote a catchy tune.

Not much else to say except that I really liked his character in To Have and To Have Not.

Hoagy was known for his sartorial sense. As a small man, he knew to dress especially carefully to create the right impression. He adopted the 4x1 double breasted suit very early on because it gave a feeling of verticality with its long, narrow-cut lapels. Hoagy also briefly popularized a tieless dress shirt, with its own dickey, which Brooks Bros sold for awhile in the 1960s.

If Wabash plays IU (at IU) in football, I may just pay a visit

The statue really looks great, everything looks so detailed. Speaking of which, if he knew his style, he should have known that cuffs on a short person don't work
