As Good a Patriotic tune as there is. Right up there with Victory at Sea, and J.P. Sousa. If that doesn't light your fire, your wood is wet. God Save America!
As Good a Pariotic tune as there is. Right up there with Victory at Sea, and J.P. Sousa. If that doesn't light your fire, your wood is wet. God Save America!
Another great song by a great band! This song was written by Captain Glenn Miller as a tribute march. Seems the recruits hated the mundane march music so Miller gave em something to march to with fun lol.
@TheCahoonzie American Patrpl was written by F.W. Meacham in 1885 and was copywrited in 1891. It was made popular by John Phillips Souza near the turn of the twentyith century Get your fact's right DIP SHIT!
@spiffydude16 Listen to the origonal recording that Glenn made. It is at the same (or close to the same) tempo. A lot of modern swing bands that cover his arraingments speed up the tempo, and to me that ruins the tune.
My Mum and Dad both 76 love this music, and I was brought up listening to it , Love the BIG BAND sound theres nothing like it , dont get me wrong the modern music has its thing , but this beats it all, Its Just a shame Glenn didnt get to find out what a hit his music has been over the years
I guess I just have a broad taste in music, because my next stop from here is gonna be "Waiting for the End" by Linkin Park. I also like metal, some pop, and occasionally some country, in addition to the occasional jazz and orchestra. Does that make me so weird?
@nickthestick26 Doesn't make you weird at all, I listen to most genres of music aswell, the broader your musical taste is the more you can appreciate music as a whole.
@PegacornLvr I think your great to like this music. I'm 67 and I've listened to it since I was 18. I always felt I missed a great era of music. Thank God for You Tube !!!!!!!!
They smoked Lucky Strikes & Camels, they fired M1's. BAR's and Bazookas, they flew P-38's. 47's 51's B 17's B26's & B24's, they fought in tropic malarial jungles & wet & frigid northern climes and when they were done we were safe and a lot of evil was destroyed. God Bless 'em all!!!
@SURFLANT This son of a WW2 pacific theater soldier salutes you. My pop did indeed carry a BAR as a fresh eighteen year old and did his job well. I bought an original BAR to have and remember him by and let me tell you it's a truly incredible weapon. Makes you truly appreciate Browning's genius. They truly are the greatest American generation without question.
This is the kind of music that kept the men and women,home and abroad,going thru those horrible times.They are the people that made this country great.This music will never disappear,if only for that reason,and rightfully so.If you ever have the chance to sit and talk to some of them,consider it an honor.The history that they have seen,and made,is our legacy to protect.
I have listen to all the other bands trying to do the little brown jug and none of them came even close, this the only band that dose glenn miller proud. i was brought up on glenn miller by my father bless his soul. well done
I have listen to all the other bands trying to do the little brown jug and none of them cae even close, this the only band that dose glenn miller proud. well done
On a party back in the 80's I got tired of the others so me and a friend we sneaked up to the father of the house and we asked him to play him some Glen Miller. After that the party was good.
I'm 15 and I play trumpet myself. I have to say, these are great songs from 1950. But I can't find any notes. Could anyone say me please, where I can get the notes for this wonderful song. Thanks
@Brian1702 First, this and other songs by Miller are from the 1940's but, try this Brian, put this, (american patrol sheet music) in the "search box". The one at the Frank W. Meacham link is free.
This is excellent - need to practice my tenor sax! :) I like that the bassist is using an upright - I think they sound a lot better than electric in a band like this.
Wow you think you know all about big band music. I should know there is a clarinet as it is the ritual aspect of this piece. It is obvious there is one at 1:10. The man next to the female saxist is placing down the clarinet as his part of the song was over starting from 1:00 to 1:11. He switches back to sax. Funny how people just judge when they probably dont even listen to this piece of music religiously.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
lol, sorry i stuck a cactus up your butt with that comment dude. that's why i asked you to point the clarinet out if there was one. and of course i don't listen to "this piece of music religiously". that would be obsessive and unhealthy, in my opinion. to each their own.
R.I.P., Mr. Miller....jazz will live forever because of you, and people will be listening to your music long after the original vinyl recordings disentigrate from old age.

@CommanderOtto Sadly that's very true. One look at Justin Bieber confirms that. And he can't even sing. Every Youtube Video of his here is either "OMFG HE'S HAWT!" or "OMFG HE SUCKS!"
There's not a single comment that goes: "OMFG HE CAN SING!"
