Thanks to Mahatmakanejeeves for the reminder of Glenn Miller

[surfered]

Glenn Miller enlisted in the Army Air Force in 1942 and disappeared over the English Channel on December 15, 1944. He was declared “dead in absentia” on December 16, 1941. He was 41 years old.

My father, who served in the Army in Pacific during the war, loved Glenn Miller’s music and the entire genre of “Swing”. He was an accomplished musician (primarily saxophones) and music was his avocation. When an entertainer came to town and needed a “big band,” my dad always got the call. I played a Glenn Miller song at his memorial.

In remembrance of Glenn Miller and my father:

Moonlight Serenade

String of Pearls
