Glenn Miller Orchestra - St. Louis Blues March

[kaunasprince]

When I was in the AF band in London,we used to do a routine with this number.The people ate it up,but we(the band) mostly hated all the dancing and stuff we gad to do.I still detest playing in a marching band.

I love Big Band music. If anybody has not seen a Big Band concert, go see one. The best music ever. It doesnt matter which Band to see, You will never forget it.

The tune never gets old, it's timeless. It's #132 in the GMO book. I love it every time we play it.

1952 Keesler AFB Biloxi,MS I was one of 6,000'A' shift airmen going tech school,5:30am marching 12 abreast to recorded marches.6 hours later marching to the base band,passing in review 6 days a week. This march woke us up and bid us good day. To this day I staighten up shoulders back eye right when I hear it played.

I was brought up with this song, i am a drummer and my uncle and grandfather also play/played.

I played this song at my school music competition when i was 11yrs old.

It is a special song for me

If you haven't seen the army marching scene in the "Glenn Miller Story" you are really missing something special. St. Louis Blues March is even more jazzed up in the movie & James Stewart turned in a fine performance as Glenn Miller.

[digital2500]

Definitely my favorite scene in that movie!  James Stewart is great as Miller!

[22beegees]

Hi digital2500, just read your reply.

Glad you enjoyed the movie & the march too!!

Yes, Jimmy was great as Miller!

Cheers from Darlene (Canada)
