I like listening to the music from the 30's and 40's on occasion. Moonlight Serenade and many of Glenn Millers compositions are some of my favorites.
There is a audio link to the sound track in the article if you care to listen. Enjoy. Link "Fixed fortifications are monuments to mans stupidity" - George S. Patton | ||

I played trombone in a big band a while ago. Moonlight Serenade was my favorite. My Funny Valentine was number 2.

I am pleased that my son and his wife enjoy listening to music from the 40’s. Civilized music in a barbaric time. _________________________ “Remember, remember the fifth of November!" | |||

When I was in High School, played in the 'Dance Band"; Sax, both tenor and alto, and thoroughly enjoyed it. White coats, black bow ties, played for Adult Dances at the High School and other venues. There was a musicality to the songs of that era that we will likely never see again. | |||

My favorite as well. For a couple of years, the radio station I listened to at work always played 'In the Mood' at 5:00 every Friday afternoon. It was a good way to create a "cue" with a song and I've loved it ever since. _____________________________________________________________________ “One of the common failings among honorable people is a failure to appreciate how thoroughly dishonorable some other people can be, and how dangerous it is to trust them.” – Thomas Sowell | |||

Indeed. Several weeks ago of weeks ago my daughter asked which Beethoven piano sonatas I would recommend. That made me cry. When a thing is funny, search it carefully for a hidden truth. - George Bernard Shaw | |||

My nephew is playing the trombone in his high school marching band. As Glen Miller also played the trombone I bought Ben a CD of Glen Miller's greatest hits last year. However I have become exasperated upon learning that he only listens to video game music. So this year I will gift him the Brian Eno album Another Green World. You can present a teen with quality music but you can't make him listen. My favorite GM song is Elmer's Tune, it just kind of sways along... https://youtu.be/slMZJtnsD2A Oh, and a superb tap dance scene to the song 'Kalamazoo' from the movie Orchestra Wives. https://youtu.be/fFv_PoZ2iP0 "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye".
