    Excellent Glenn Miller CD & DVD

    Wow, don't even know what that is! ("Shh, It's a Military Secret" :) ) What is it? Also, I'd like to know, anyone know of a source for these BMG centennial DVDs Without the CDs? (from the reviews, I get the idea that the hilight of these sets is the vids not the music) Swing High, - C H

    WHOA!! FedoraGent, if/when I ever find myself out in your neighborhood, I've got to buy you a drink. Two drinks. A whole lot of drinks! :D Thanks man. And Merry Christmas to you too. Swing High, - C H

    Benny Goodman vs. Glenn Miller

    YES! And, FedoraGent, do you have more live 1930s-40s radio broadcast material complete with the announcer's voice, by any or all of the above artists? Myself, that's something I've heard very little of (and don't have hardly any of my own), but really am getting a kick out of that one you...

    Benny Goodman vs. Glenn Miller

    Fantastic, hope you can bring along some friends & family and make an outing of it! I was going to reccomend also looking at the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra's tour schedule, but their latest date on their website is from back in January 2006. Emailed them to ask them what's up and if they're...

    Vintage pictures from weekend trip

    Rosie, That's where my whole family besides Mom is from, Virginia Beach. :) The Hilton/Princess Anne there is beautiful! Thanks for posting those pics (downloaded them & viewed them smaller on my PC). It's always nice to know a place you're staying has a history. Recently we've been...

    What do you want for your birthday?

    you people are so juvenile. :-) I just PM'ed a lounge member about a batch of posters I just found: I'd really love to have one of each! If each lounge member could PM me and I'll give you my address to send one to, it would be greatly appreciated. :D ___ ___ ___...

    FedoraGent, You're just The Man! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap Those are all Great. Been really wanting to hear more "live broadcast" stuff by any of the swing bands, and it's great to hear Benny live. OOH, I love that song, & this is a great version, thanks for posting! Can you PM me that guy's...

    Benny Goodman vs. Glenn Miller

    Ha! Maybe we shoudl start an "I was introduced to Glenn Miller when I was 5 years old by my grandparents" club, there was at least one other Lounge member who said the same thing. :D Yes, when I want to hear hot swing jazz, I go straight for the Goodman. I'll add that when I while at my last...

    Hey, check out this video posted in another thread, a Benny Goodman full length performance from a 1943 movie with swing dancers in the rain! This is what it's all about, man :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwHOIJ9HPrc (be sure and click the lower right button on the video portion of the...

    Benny Goodman vs. Glenn Miller

    The Glenn Miller Orchestra is INCREDIBLE. I think many of the folks here at the Lounge have heard them too and can agree. (I would add, the same is true for the Tommy Dorsey orchestra, which also tours; they were under the direction of Buddy Morrow when I saw them recently, who made some...

    Weirdest Ebay experience

    Oh, that one is too funny Daisy. :D Some people. Didn't know eBay was created originally for Pez; neat. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt if there's any question whether they're just Highly Uninformed. I've found that to many people, all record players look indistinguishable...

    Weirdest Ebay experience

    lol That is really great, you're more than lucky. I had a home based business a short time restoring & reselling vintage audio gear. Also had a homepage with pics of my own, including a console spring-wound 1920s Victrola. Once while surfing the bay for fixer uppers, I read one descibing...

    Public radio: Origins of Glenn Miller's "In The Mood", fascinating

    Here's a FASCINATING national public radio MP3 segment all about the history of Glenn Miller's "in the mood", tracing the origins of the riff back to the earliest recorded version, from 1930 (!), by the one-armed jazz trumpeter Wingy Manone, who called it "Tar Paper Stomp", through several other...

    Benny Goodman vs. Glenn Miller

    No, according to this interview with the only surviving original band member who was with Miller till he split up the band in 1942 (and just wrote a memoirs book I've got to buy!), Miller re-arranged the song on the spot he bought it. The original 78 label here credits "Joe Garland"; here's...

    Benny Goodman vs. Glenn Miller

    Good point, Michaelson. I agree with you on the Goodman change. The sound became to my ears more like "just going through the motions". Although I really do like his Columbia 40s tracks "Gotta Be This or That" and "The Count", thats about all, the rest are "okay". But when he then in the...
