Yesterday's clouds made a spectacular display in the sky.
Whenever Judy or I see a sky like this we're reminded of Hoagy Carmichael, who performed the song "Ole Buttermilk Sky" in the movie "Canyon Passage".
Carmichael was an Indiana native who earned a law degree at Indiana University but found his forte in songwriting.
He and Jack Brooks wrote "Ole Buttermilk Sky".
With many partners, he also is credited with writing "Stardust", "Georgia on My Mind", "(Up A) Lazy River", "In the Still of the Night", "Lazybones", "The Nearness of You", "Heart and Soul", "Two Sleepy People" and dozens more.
But somehow we always think of him when we see a sky like this.
An old buttermilk sky.
