This band had it all!!!

[@RogerCharlesCourtney]

At 85 years old, I can recall during the war when this was played on the radio. That was truly the big band era. Tommy Dorsey, Artie Shaw, Louis Armstrong, all those great musicians were on the radio every day. This was all that was played. That was a time when everyone loved America and was buying war bonds and using ration stamps. We all supported the war effort. We had paper drives at school. All the kids collected and saved news papers for the drive. Our family did not have a car, so my parents traded their gasoline ration stamps for food and meat ration stamps. This was in southern California, we had black outs and the planes patrolling the coast would pass over our house. We kids were scared out of our minds. Mr. Perkins our neighborhood Air Raid Warden would come out into the street and yell "blackout", as he cranked his hand crank siren. Everyone turned their lights out as the street lights went out. It was total darkness. We kids hid under the table as the planes flew over. This music played through all of that. We were in the dark but the radio stayed on for news reports. No TV. We lived through it, and when the war was over, Joe Louis was on the radio performing his boxing matches. And the music played on.

[@donbowman5810]

I was born in 1938, so my boyhood included World War II. I grew up near Topeka, Kansas, so no blackouts. However, I do remember the ration stamps, drives to sell war bonds, and one of my sisters twelve years older than me enlisting and serving in the WAVES. I think that she served for three years after her basic training. She was stationed in San Francisco as a Storekeeper 1st. Class. At that location the WAVES were responsible for ordering, storing, and shipping supplies for the war effort in the South Pacific. I had two other sisters still at home during the war and I remember them listening to this kind of music on the radio. Of course I was also listening even though I was only three to six years old.

[@stephenleo5606]

I remember listening to "Elmer's Tune" back in 1944 while waiting for news of my cousin Bob whose escort carrier USS Block Island was sunk in the Atlantic. We found out that he had survived and had been picked up by a destroyer and taken to Casablanca. Glen Miller's music helped this country get through a hard time. It was probably the last time that all Americans were united in a common cause. I'm 85 now born in 1934 and every time I hear Glenn Miller's theme song "Moonlight Serenade" it takes me back to the war years with bitter sweet memories.

[@kathleenforkey9104]

So correct in so many ways, we went through such though times but people were kinder, music and melodies were beautiful back then which gave us something beautiful enjoy and love

[@stephenleo5606]

@@kathleenforkey9104 You're certainly correct about the people and the music during the war years. It seemed then that the war would go on forever and Glenn Miller's music helped you get through days filled with both hope and despair as the battles ebbed and flowed. It was a great relief when VE and VJ day finally arrived and the men came home from Europe and the Far East to marry and raise families and optimism for the future of America thrived. We all thought then that there were only better times ahead for all Americans. It is unfortunate that the spirit of cooperation and friendliness that prevailed during the war no longer exists and will in all probability never return. It is indeed strange that it took a war to unite our people and the peace that came after destroyed that unity. The beauty of Glenn Miller's music has disappeared the same way Glenn disappeared over the English Channel flying to France in 1944 and has been replaced by music that is no longer as romantic or inspiring. Most songs written then were love songs with beautiful melodies and lyrics by great composers and musicians -- this is no longer the case.

[@tracedog27]

Thank you for the thoughts. And a toast of that fine ale back to you on that count, both to those who died and those who came back, no matter which flag they served. They built the modern world. It is often said that "we owe them a debt that can never be repaid". I agree completely. My father was in the 467th bomb group based at RAF Rackheath, not far out of Norwich. He was the flight engineer/top turret gunner on a B24. He didn't talk much about his service while I was growing up and me, being young and stupid, unfortunately didn't ask much either. But one story that he always loved to tell was of the times he would be on leave and, going into the local pubs, he was never able to buy himself a drink. The Brits at the bar would never allow it! Lol. Rather, they would insist, in no uncertain terms, on paying for his drink. Its funny how music brings all this back into focus.

[@williamsmithus7418]

Man this brings back memories. One day, in the spring of 1978, while I was rummaging through the record bins at the local K-Mart (we didn't have a local record store, so K-Mart was our only option for music), I came across a double album of Glenn Miller's greatest hits. My mom was a big Glenn Miller fan, so for once in my miserable, self-centered existence I did something for someone else and bought the album for her (I still have it, by the way, along with Aerosmith's first release, Frank Zappa and countless other classics of the era). I remember playing the album on my Lafayette turntable stereo system in my bedroom. Mom came in, sat down on the foot of my bed and I swore I watched 40 years of life's hardships magically melt away. Insofar as Dad was born in 1917 and Mom was born in 1918, they were true "Swing Kids" (for the reader's benefit, I came along rather late in my parents' lives: I was born when they were in their 40s). As we sat there together in the back bedroom of the old house on Fort Hunt Road in the growing darkness of a warm spring evening, we listened to Tuxedo Junction, Moonlight Serenade, Perfidia, The Chatanooga Choo Choo and so many others of Miller's classics. As her mind drifted down memory lane to people and experiences and events long since past, to life before the arduous years of the war, the taxing decades of marriage to a naval aviator and raising three sons, her normally impenetrable facade of stoicism dropped and I caught a brief glimpse of what she must have been like when my father first met her at the Army-Navy game of 1938: a vivacious, vibrant, ebullient young woman in the prime of youth, when life was a "bowl of cherries" (her quote, not mine).

It's cause you were born with a great chipset to love music.

[@itsss_gage4306]

im 17 and my dad brought me up on Frank Sinatra so i did some exploring and discovered Glenn Miller

[@jlpicardUSS1701e]

No matter how many decades have passed since Glenn Miller left us, his music is still as fresh today as it was back then. Compared to the trash they put on the radio these days, these are all golden tunes for more civilized times, and those who played them, were all well trained musicians with an ear for melodic music, and when rhythm came into the equation, they knew perfectly well how to invite you to the dance, and what dances they were. Not just hopping around like a wild ape on fire, but rather well performed dances made to enjoy in a couple, and not just by yourself. Ladies and men alike, enjoyed each other's dancing skills and they could really have the fun of their lives.

[@cherylpalazzo352]

So so true

[@cherylpalazzo352]

I love dancing to this music . I am 48 and always loved it . This is true music . True talent .

[@tommyconway8147]

I don’t understand how we pass to those fancy and gentle music into some truly trash

[@miahayes8061]

You are all just a bunch of old farts. I love this kind of music but I still have an appreciation for today's music. It's time we stop bashing new music and just treat it as it is. Music.

[@chromerotica]

@@miahayes8061 I agree. Plus, theres music that's made in this day and age that's exactly the same as this. Maybe without the old timey sound (use of old equipment). Music now is music as it was back then. Let us enjoy things.

Vintage music is like a hidden treasure, every time you listen to it, you discover something precious. 💎

Takes me back to Saturday mornings growing up in the 70s in Escondido, CA and dad tuning in Doug Best Swings on the AM.

Moonlight serenade is the kind of music you would like to hear when you enter into heaven.

[@MsWausau]

Maybe there wouldn't be so much discontentment in the world if we went back to having dance halls and Saturday nights when having a decent time was lovely and wondrous.

We had A Glen Miller band at our school Prom back in 1958. (A bit out of date but still there). It was romantic. Glen Miller music was in the aire, You could hear Moonlight Serenade streaming out of cars and diners. What a fabulous era. It’s part of my memories even though Glen Miller was back n the 40’s.

When the movie "The Glenn Miller Story" was being filmed in Denver. I was there watching Jimmy Stewart in the phone booth talking with his girl up north in Boulder, a college town. On breaks Jimmy walked around greeting on lookers. This took place across the street from the U.S.Mint.When the film was released the theater was packed, standing room only. Have lost count as to the many times I have seen the movie.
