Glenn Miller, seventy years later

Last night we took my mother to see the Glenn Miller Orchestra at a small theater northwest of here, and everyone in attendance thought the show was superb! At the band's peak in the early 1940's, Miller volunteered for the army, then disappeared in a plane crash while flying from England to France in 1944. The band has been touring the world in it's reincarnated form since 1956- with a revolving set of musicians of course, all of them top of the line players. They still sell out venues-playing the old swing hits and some modern sound-a-likes- while performing about 300 shows a year...So if you like swing music at all, they were the Beatles of their time, and still every bit as talented!!
