The Glen Miller Orchestra is coming to town!!!

This link doesn’t have Richmond on it but I’ve heard ads for them coming here at the end of October.

I had no idea it still existed.

1. Attended their concert at Millersville University (PA) four years ago. They were fantastic!

I think there have been several iterations of the group since Miller's death. Here's a video of them performing In the Mood in 2018, the same year I saw them.

3. Really! I didn't know that the band still existed either (Glen Miller Orch.) I see the records

still out there, the 33s when I am out in a flea market or the like, looking for my Disney stuff, e.g., record albums too. The GM Orch. records are very common, I guess that they will be around forever. I never listened to the Glen Miller Orch., but they fulfilled a role back I guess in the '50s and 60s, and perhaps later too. Before my time.

6. You're a bit late on the dates

GM Orch was founded in 1938. Glenn Miller died in 1944 when the plane he was on was lost over the English Channel.

9. Thank you! I suspected that perhaps I was wrong on the dates. And it was kind of funny for last

night, I ran into somebody that actually spoke fondly of the Glen M. orch. and the others that were around.

What a small world.

We ended up talking about musicians that came out of the East St. Louis area, Patti Labelle, Tina Turner (and the Mad Max series of movies, all classics), and then we got talking about the Blues etc. What a night in talking about music (and shows)!

5. Well, no one can really do it like Glenn or Tex

but I've played in big bands since high school. Pretty much played all the Miller tunes as well as Goodman, Shaw, Dorsey bros, Herman, Ellington....and many more I can't remember. I love playing this stuff!

7. I think there was more than one "Glenn Miller Orchestra"

A few years ago we went to a Glenn Miller concert, the orchestra was led by John - who was Herb's son. He looked uncannily like his uncle. Good show.
