Ha! When I was a DJ in the 70s I used to pop this on sometimes in the middle of proceedings to see what people would do.

Stupid Nazis. Miller was killed flying across the Channel the day before the Battle of the Bulge started. December 15, 1944.
My dad told me he saw Glenn Miller in London while on leave, in November 1944. Must have been one of the last shows he gave. Soon after my dad was redeployed to the Ardennes in time for the battle at hill 400 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hill_400,_Bergstein), followed by the German counteroffensive of Dec, 1944.

Hello California
England calling and we have Hot sunny weather...HOORAH! In fact no rain here in the West since The Royal Wedding : )
I was inspired to register after hearing the Glen Miller track. Like many listeners on this forum I also think of my Dad when I hear this great music. My Dad played Saxophone in The Royal Marine Band. After the war he became a Postman in Dover but started up his own Band playing all the great big band sounds so as I was born in 1948 it became my music too.
I have tuned in daily now for about 5 years and wouldn't survive a day without you so a BIG thank you to Bill and Co for an amazing Radio Station xxx

yep... played the 78 rpm in the basement many times, Glenn, Benny, all good!
My Dad's favorite song. I'm glad he and Mom always had music in the house, in the days before the TV played 24/7.

Glen Miller was the only artist my father and I both liked. I can’t listen to him now without thinking about sitting around the “gramophone” with my dad and not arguing or fighting.
Ahhh...back when jazz WAS the pop(ular) music. Amazing to compare the bands from those days to just a few years later when they were mere backing bands for the crooners, and eventually the black music carried over into the white world. And then Elvis! And ultimately, give thanks to greats like good ole Louis Armstrong and his 5s, 7s, 9s (all hot mind you) for giving us truly American music.
This is a 9 for the history as much as the piece, and well what was better in the "swinging" days but swing?!?
fondly remember playing my dad's 78 of this...
The beat's a bit slower than what I remember, but I love it. Eternally 10.

I agree - my mum loved it!
My Dad use to play this when I was young. Good then...Good now.
Swing Baby!

Actually, there is a theory that he was killed by friendly fire. A squadron of allied bombers was returning from a mission. There was heavy fog & they jettisoned their bombs into the channel to be able to land, hitting Glenn's plane.
