I loved that Swing sound. I consider him an American hero for his Army service. Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen

He quickly became a legend in the music industry and it is easy to see why - he made people happy.

Miller was an amazing composer and bandleader. I grew up listening to his albums along with Woody Herman, the Dorsey Brothers, Duke Ellington, Tex Benicky, and several others. "String of Pearls" and "Moonlight Cocktail" are among my favorites and the albums which I inherited are still played with some regularity - They don't make music like this anymore. It is believed the plane Miller was in was found several years ago in the English Channel; It will not likely be recovered.
Thanks for posting this one, Dave - These are great!

When I was at Fort Sill, our jazz band did some Glenn Miller tunes, and they were always concert favorites.

I also ‘inherited’ vinyls and I have a turntable! Am still organizing my house; however, I will soon be listening to all the ‘golden oldies’!
