My dad was from this era. I grew up listening to this stuff as a boy in the 70's. Never thought much of it at the time. Didn't hate it, didn't really like it. It's only when you get older that you realise how technical and complicated this stuff is. That's when you really start to appreciate it. Great post ;-)

This makes me think of my grandparents, who I miss greatly. I have always liked Big Band music even though I am only 48. I would love to be able to go back in time and just say thank you to Glenn for the many wonderful hours and memories I associate with his music.

I wonder if I am related to Major Glenn Miller, I carry the same surname. My Parents grew up dancing to this wonderful music. There is nothing as powerful sounding as a Band and Orchestra playing this music. Greg Miller

I started listening to this in the70s when i was a little kid I loved and still love this music , all my friends thought I was an oddball. Now as an adult, I know, as I knew then, that this is the best music of all time!!!

In the title it says Major Glen Miller. I did not realize he had risen past a Captains commission.
