Let me tell you whippersnappers a thing or two. I may have lived a flat 78 years by now, but I do know that my generation had more raw talent than you will ever be exposed to, unless a miracle occurs. You have so much dross that passes for excellence, just because it is crystal clear and well engineered aurally. The fact is, if you study the original melodies of the 20's 30's and 30's, you'll see that they were fresh, distinct and most endearing to all hearts back then. How I wish you kids knew.
@DrHemlock94022 ~ Im not such a whipper, but still a snapper !My dad is a 86 and has the same sentiments. He loved his stereo and in the evenings, listening to Tommy Dorsey, Al Hirt, Luis Prima,Louie Armstrong, Harry Belafonte, Glenn Miller, Pete Fountain etc. I was young, but still enjoyed it..... Later, we would almost blow out those wonderful, rich speakers, listening to the "Live Woodstock" album..(rotten kids)With all due respect..."I wish I knew too...first hand"..how wonderful :o) SQ1
Just thinking how much I missed by being a young adult in 2011, and not in the 1930's. This music both haunts me and makes me feel great. Somewhere over the skies Glenn Miller and his orchestra are still playing.
I purchased my first Glenn Miller record back in the early 70's when I was in high school. I aksed to play my new record on the family hi fi, and I guess my parents thought I must have another Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath record because they said to keep the volume down. I put the record on and this very song was first. Both Mom and Dad came in the room looking very surprised, and they danced to this song right there in the living room. It was cool to see them reminiscing!
@cool45010 I'm with you, This candidate is invading our right to to listen to good old music withouT being bombarded by his unwanted advertisement. I need to bite back - I'M NOT VOTING FOR HIM!
I'm almost 22 and this is a really beautiful tune. My grandparents loved listening to it. I love to play it while driving through the country on beautiful summer days because that always reminds me of when I used to go on drives with my grandparents and I miss them. The version I have is a higher octave though.
Ah, yes...I wish things were like they were...I wouldn't have to go to work...I'd send the kids off to school with their packed lunch pails and the hubby after his poached eggs on toast and freshly squeezed OJ, just like an amalgam of June Cleaver and Lucy! Then it's throw in a wash, bake a cake and set the table for this afternoon's bridge game with 'the girls'...
as a teenager trumpeter of today i find incredibly difficult to find people my age who appreciate the music of the good days like i do. playing in a 40's dance band is my only salvation that i have from the crap they call music today. i wish i lived back then
@baghend - Believe me, I am sorry we dont have music like this too! There's nothing corruptive in a song like this, its just pure music. I hate the 21st century stuff...
@TheBeatles193 Hi- thanks for writing- I'm also a big BIG fan of the music of the 60's (when I hit my teens- 1960) as well as the Beatles- musical geniuses. It was all fun, and so much fun to listen to and dance to and smoke dope to and make out to. Tunes you could sing and whistle and strum on your cheap guitar, have sock hops in the gym, watch American Bandstand and learn the newest dance (Mashed Potato?) and play on the car a.m. radio (55 Dodge) while at the A&W. Poor kids today
@baghend You know what my generation gets? 50 cent and Justin Beiber. I hate it. I swear to God I was born in the wrong era. lol. But at least, through YouTube, I get to enjoy all the old stuff too.
@TheBeatles193 You'll do just fine- just keep listenting to what you like, and, always dance to your own drummer. To hell with the crowd. Check out some other stuff from the 30's and 40's as well- Gus Arnheim, (at the Coconut Grove in L.A.) Guy Lombardo, Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw esp. Deep Purple, Begine the Beguine, etc. And the Dorseys of course esp. the early Sinatra recordings- now there was a crooner. Fun stuff.
@TheBeatles193 I empathize with you wholly. I'm 16 and wish everyday that classical music never died. I only recently broadened my sight to include some early 20th century music.
@Zelrio28 And isn't it great? I love stuff from the 40s, 50s and especially 60s (in case you didn't see my user name lol). It's good to know there are other like us out there, though, eh?
@Zelrio28 Just a clarification, this is not classical music, it is jazz. Or you could call it big band jazz. It has a lot of improvisation between all of the different artistst that play it, it is not played the same based on sheet music such as most classical is. But anyways, I am sorry for being picky :P lol I hope you are not offended. I love this music so much though!! And I am young like you, only 20.
I just hope to learn to play trumpet in the future and start playing in the big band. The people like Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Django Reinhardt and Duke Ellington reached the perfection of music. I'd love to live in 20s-30s just to attend at their concerts.
Boy does this take me back. Was at a ballroom with my husband, I was a young girl and got into a dance contest. Came in 3rd. Although Glenn Miller was gone, his band continued on. What a memory. My hus. has passed but I will always continue to listen to this music. Virginia from East Liverpool, Ohio
@luwdmke I think 23 skidoo was used to descibe someone else that was attractive... 23 skidoo, Oh, you kid, bees knees, etc.; phrases for a time and place... 40 oz. bounce, dig?
But gays & transvestites have been around since the time of the Bible & Alexander the Great. In early 20th Century America these perverse realities just were not out in the open (on TV etc) like today. They still existed.
You never know - some groovy well-healed "good guy" you know at work etc. might actually be a closet-cross-dresser who has high-priced homo orgies on weekends.
@LadyCadbury are you serious!? calm down. there's nothing wrong with nostalgia. i don't know if u just like different music or if you're just being a troll, but no one really wants to hear you complain
@86controlagent I thinks the implication that women are only women when it's considered slutty for them to wear pants. The music's beautiful. The rampant intolerance ( such as, I don't know, the Holocaust) in the 40's is no 'ideal'.
@savedagian It is sad, how right you are. Qualities as pride and honor don´t tell the people a thing today.
I don´t undestand these times. Its making me sad seeing people ignoring the others needing help, beeing so terribly selfish, beeing so terribly "empty.", missing a soul.
Nice video. Stardust has always been my favorite Glenn Miller song. The more you listen to it the better it gets. About the 100th time, it approaches perfection.
Awwww.....Ive missed this. Always good to hear is tunes. Thank you & peace
