When I was a little kid in the mid 1960s, my parents used to put this song and other great swing music onto the phonograph and sit on the couch together in the dimly lit living room romancing. Sometimes, they would dance together. Everytime I hear swing music, it brings back these sweet memories of my dear parents. They are both in Heaven now. I miss them a lot.
The best of the best. An era of which can never be duplicated. I am so proud to be in that era. Memories at 82 yrs. of age sustain me but sadden me of what I have to listen to today.
Recorded on April 10, 1939. Only Glen Gray's Casa Loma Orchestra version {with composer Frankie Carle at the piano} on Decca, recorded two months before, could match Glenn's version in terms of popularity.
We were also doing Moonlight Serenade the same night and I could hear that we weren't playing the melody with the one instrument down an octave, so I did the same thing there. That point in that song is at 1:39. I continued playing it down an octave until 2:09
I remember being with the Golden Eagle Community Band in Southern NJ in the summer of 1984-1985 and we were playing this song in concert. I was playing 2nd Tenor Sax and was about 20 or 21 years old. We had been practicing this song for weeks and I could hear that the arrangement that we were using didn't have the MOVING Tenor Sax part at 1:19-1:20, so on the night of the concert I threw it in without telling anybody previously.
Same here, my Dad was a WW2 Marine veteran, and my Mom was "Rosie the riveter" here at home. My earliest memories are of my parents and aunts/uncles pushing the furniture in our living room aside and dancing to this wonderful big band music from the (78RPM) record player. This music always takes me back to those times in my early childhood in the late 50's and early 60s when life was good and America was tops and everyone knew it.
Listen to Sunrise Serenade in the morning and Moonlight Serenade at night. Best Music Ever!

@AlucardxSabrina Isn't THIS what you're listening to today? We are SO lucky to be able to choose to listen to this wonderful music.

As the son of a WW II Navy veteran, big band music was the first music I ever heard in my life. I loved it as a child and I still do.
