Thanks for the acknowledgment dieselpuppy74. This cousin Anna who married the writer of this song Fred Fisher had originally gone for an audition for one of his plays and she didn't get the part because he MARRIED her. Theirs was a great love and my mother told me that she recalls my grandfather going to Fred's funeral. He hanged himself upon learning his cancer was inoperable.

@goldspout Glad you like it. I think this Vinyl is the best.

[dieselpuppy74]

For whatever reason, some music always sounds better on vinyl - Case in point !

Thank you swinginkatz for furthering my interest in the sounds of Big Band music. There were some great band leaders back in the day, got any Charlie Barnet ?

Thanks also to Goldspout for the info, the world just got a little smaller didn't it !?

@dieselpuppy74 I agree about the vinyl, more to come. Charlie Barnett is on swinginkatz

ahhh i just wanna dance to this tune with the one i love :') music from this era is so pretty. instead of the 90s, i wish i was born in the 20s up until the 60s when music was at its best

This recording is the best of Glenn's early handful of sides he cut for Decca with his original band, which featured George T. Simon (later Miller's biographer) on drums. Sucess eluded this record and Miller's band then, so he broke it up and reorganized with mostly different personnel the next year. It was with his new band that Miller's distirnctive sound came into full flower and his run of 127 1938 to 1944 hits for Bluebird and Victor began.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful tune, and the Glenn Miller sound with a new generation! My grandniece Ginger and I had a whirl across the dance floor to this. I felt like time stopped, and that Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers would have been jealous...

Many many thanks, friend...

Fred Fisher was married to my maternal grandfather's first cousin Anna. He fell in love with Anna when the latter came to audition for something Fred was promoting. He was alot older but their love was over the top. He came down with terminal cancer and took his own life so as to spare his wife the grief of such a horrific death. My grandfather spoke of the horrors of the funeral.. in the early 40's. Thanks for your interest, Swinginkatz.
