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.

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.
