What an excellent choice that turned out to be.

How about that! Neat! B^)
I love Glenn Miller , I actually drive around listening to his music quite a bit these days . It reminds of of a time ( my father’s era) when America was great , and traditional and wholesome . Miller’s sound / music is uplifting and puts me in a good mood , the perfect music to listen to before going in to a long shift at work . Nice to relax to on the way home as well . Glenn Miller may have died long ago , but his music is deathless .
It’s funny how some things like that stay with you over many years.
Glad you posted the words, I didn’t know there was a lyrics translate site. Thanks.
like in “Mars Attacks”! LOL!
You might enjoy this thread.
The band I played in in High Skook played a couple of Glenn Miller numbers, the St. Louis Blues March and Moonlight Serenade.
Of course WE did them better than GM ever did! (kidding, of course).
Can’t they report his plane crashed into the Atlantic? “Disappeared” sounds like it magically went poof or aliens beamed it into a mothership.
Skool (not skook). /facepalm
What an excellent choice that turned out to be.
I hosted a couple of Big Band shows in the 70's, 80's and early 90's. When I first started in 1978, I was 23. I barely knew the music but quickly fell in love with Glenn and his sound. And of course with Marion Hutton.
LOL, of course your band was better, no doubt about it! :-)
I grew up listening to Glenn Miller and once visited the American Cemetary in Cambridge,England where he is memorialized.
An awesome place.

I love the BIG BAND sounds!
Toss in a little Bluegrass and I’m your huckleberry. You have good taste.
I don’t know much about him except he played the sax, piano, etc. if I remember correctly, he left the orchestra to go back to Italy to attend medical school. He became a Dr. but died at an early age from heart problems. Hadn’t thought about him in years until I read this thread!
Well, maybe not, but we had a ball playing them, especially this one (the Tex Beneke arrangement)...

It’s sad he had a short life, but being good enough for the Glenn Miller Orchestra! Man, that’s something!
I’m playing “In The Mood” in his honor. One of my favorite songs.
