@golf101plus I was at the Balboa Bay Ballroom in '48 or '49 Maynard had just joined the band -- in fact I was there when they recorded Orange Colored Sky with Nat King Cole -- hitchiked there from Mpls -- slept and cleaned up in the bus station

You must be old like me (78)

I heard this arrangement at age fifteen, and it changed my life. I knew that there was life beyond the classics, mindless 'pop' music and even love songs.

@AmosPressley I was also at the USC Clinic. I presume you mean South Carolina, not that imitation USC in California! I still remember all the trombone players by name. According to a post on another video only two of them are still alive. It's unforgettable the first time you hear a world class band like this.

I remember hearing this at Rainbow Gardens in Erie, Pa and standing about 5 feet from the orchestra all night. I don't even think I knew my date was there. To be enveloped in that sound was just amazing.

Way, way, way back when there was only the opening theme, I loved it and then this, the closing theme, just wipes me out. Can't hear it enough and will never tire of it.  All these years later, I still get misty eyed.

@edgarbm95 I was in High school and had just had an accident that cut a tendon in my finger. I was considering quitting when I met the bass player here in a band clinc the Kenton orchestra gave at the University of SC. John Worster encouraged me to stick with it and taught me how to make my fingers stronger. I will never forget him.
