Mike Reed plays Glenn Miller's "Pennsylvania 6-5000" on the Hammond Organ

"Pennsylvania 6-5000" is a 1940 swing jazz and pop standard with music by Jerry Gray and lyrics by Carl Sigman. It was recorded by Glenn Miller and His Orchestra as a Bluebird 78 rpm single. Many big band names played in the Hotel Pennsylvania's Cafe Rouge in New York City, including the Glenn Miller Orchestra. The hotel's telephone number, PEnnsylvania 6-5000, inspired the Glenn Miller 1940 Top 5 Billboard hit of the same name, which had a 12-week chart run. The instrumental was recorded on April 28, 1940 in New York. What a great dance tune, and a very real example of life in the 40's. Big Band blast at its best..... 6/8/2021..... "Life is Good" when "Hammondized" in honor of Glenn and his Band. Work it, baby. 😎🌴🎹

Грампластинки Glenn Miller были первыми музыкальными записями что я услышал где-то в 4 года.... И вот снова та же отличная музыка, спасибо! The Glenn Miller LPs were the first musical recordings that I heard at about 4 years old .... And here again the same great music, thanks!
