"Thanks a million for this one Gil. I'm 42, but I have a huge love of Big Band and all things swing. Kep 'em comin'!"
Age has nothing to do with it. 4 or 5 years ago the current Glenn Miller Orchestra under direction by Larry O'Brien was here in town performing at the Lucas Theatre, a 1920s theater, recently rennovated. I treated three generations of my family to the event. My daughter, then 12, couldn't believe it when she heard Johnny Mercer songs performed. She remembered them from when her grandmother would sing them to her as a small child. More than one track from the Glenn Miller Orchestra CD she bought at the time has shown up on her CD mixes which also include Old Blue Eyes Himself. BTW, Sinatra is a featured singer in one of the Tommy Dorsey shows featured in the Big Bands section of the website I mentioned in my last post. 73 Gil _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
