Glenn Miller Orchestra

This Instapundit link to a British pop singer who is now 92 and yet her stuff, including her World War II hits, has topped the music album charts there, reminds me of a comment I saw posted at iTunes the other day. I was downloading an old WW2 Glenn Miller album. It’s the music I grew up with as my parents played it all the time.

The anonymous commenter, who said she was ten years old, said she’d recently rented the Glenn Miller Story, with James Stewart and June Allyson, and loved the movie so much that she just had to have the music. Are these two items pure coincidence or some sort of a trend? Lord, but it would be nice to be free of hip hop and the drugdrums.

  1. I only know who she is because of a Pink Floyd tune.
    That music is pretty good. It’s always been thought “cool”. Think of the music from The Mask.
    I grew up watching Abbot and Costello movies every Sunday from 11:30-1 on channel 9, they had the Andrews Sisters on all the time.
    I had a crush on all of them at one time and I still like to listen to their music.

  2. Allyson was always too sweet to be real. Maybe that’s why she was so appealing to so many for so long. Nowadays, I expect, she would be a parody.
