It is said that Glenn Miller never really liked this song, but his wife did. He performed it just before he went missing. I always wondered if this haunted his wife when she heard it. War is tragic. Glenn Miller was a major loss and affected the morale of the entire country. I'm glad we have his bands recordings to remember the age when America took the brunt of the assult on freedom just as we are today.
Why make such a big deal about one's age? I'm sixteen, the music's good regardless, and I don't see what's so impressive about liking it. It's original, refreshing and generally brilliant.
@TheFacelessActivist The reason that so many people make a big deal about young ppl that like this, is b/c SO MANY young people these days listen to "music" is nothing more than LOUD NOISE that most musicians can't find or follow any sort of melodic line!! But I really am glad to see a whole new generation learning to love this truly exceptional music!!
Fair enough, but, I think it has little to do with that as much as it has to do with isolationism. I mean, I've traveled in most places within Europe, such as Germany, France, Austria, Scotland, etc. I tend to explore things, and so I came across this music. It's simply a matter of self-indulged socialism, or "trends" as some would call them. Either way, a lot of people probably likes this music, they're just afraid of treading outside of their little cultural cul-de-sac.
Thank you very much for putting this on YT. I have searched for years for this version. I'm 46 and the last time I heard this was in the late seventies. What I liked most about it was the slower tempo and especially,the brilliant cornet solo. I am a happy bunny tonight :)
I'm only a gal who is 44 yrs. old but have always found Glenn Miller to be my all-time favorite music!!! Definitely not like the awful boom boom noise you hear rumbling out of automobiles these days. If there were such a thing as a time machine I would travel back to this era and remain there.
@ShamBamWaffle813 - AMEN TO THAT ONE!! I can't stand the BOOM BOOM noises that kids play on their radios these days!! It is horrible when you are at a red light and one of them pulls up beside you and their radio is SO LOUD that you can feel your BONES VIBRATE!!
I swear... no body teaches them ANYTHING about DECENCY & MANNERS!! Most people (if they had ANY MANNERS WHATSOEVER) would consider that maybe not everybody likes to feel their BONES VIBRATE b/c you are playing your radio SO LOUD!!
Thank you so much for posting this definitive version of "Little Brown Jug". As with many of my generation, I heard his music after he died. There is no doubt nobody will ever do what the did in the short time he was popular. His hits were amazing. Thanks to him I began listening to the Goodmans, Clintons, Elgarts, etc. It was a great musical era from the late 30s through the mid 50s and thanks to folks like you putting this great music on youtube it will live on. Thanks, again.
