"String of Pearls" my all time favorite of Glenn Miller hits. Great musician gone way too soon and so tragically! Long may his memory and greatness linger on. I'm 78 so grew up on this music. 🎶🎺🎷🎶
@@zetty01 I know. It gets in your memory fro. Youth and it's there to stay. My dad was an MP stationed at pow camp. Mom was home with newborn me, and 4 older brothers. No family pay back then. Thank God my grandparents had a farm. We had milk, eggs and vegetables.that was 1942. I grew up listening to Mills Bros. Margaret Whiting and all the big name bands on radio. No tv then. Ha I grew up listening to it daily and love it still. My favorite song at 8 bbn years old was Margaret Whiting singing " Theres a tree in The Meadow"..... really dates me huh? 🎶❣🎶
To all the men and women who served in World War II, some who never grew old and are in cemeteries across France, Belgium, Germany and other European towns.
A fine tribute to Glenn Miller, to the men and women of WW2 who sacrificed dearly for Western Civilization (including all of us and our grandchildren)! To that I can only say thank you. To those who sacrificed, this debt can never be fully repaid.
That was outstanding. Not only my favorite song by Glenn Miller, but it was one of my favorite song to play when I was in school when I was young. It wasn't the excitement of playing the trumpet part, it was sitting amongst all that great noise that just went all through me. Every section stood out and was all awesome. It felt like a journey into the music itself. They just brought that all back for me
Always said I was born to late love this kind of music I remember my father playing alot of Glenn Millers records the one that I wore out was in the mood and still to this day love hearing over and over. I thank those who keep the big band era alive and well.
I'm not sure how anyone could give a negative comment, especially as the group has some young talent within. It's great to see all within that age group today enjoying MUSIC!!
Negative? How could you put down musicians who try hard for a tribute to the band. I suppose they expected the real Glen Miller band 7 decades later????
They're accidental clicks, most of them trying to click onto something else. Like why would anyone downvote a Michael Jordan dunk?? Obviously you clicked it to see him do it, yet, there are the DVs.
! Qué gran calidad de orquesta y qué excelentes músicos ! Al escucharlos se recibe la impresión que la vida humana en el planeta se exalta de emoción y de alegría.

At least the trumpeter with the ponytail wasn't allowed to ruin this the way he wrecks St Louis Blues March, for instance. what was he doing in this band? Comletely out of place.
I read somewhere that on Glen's original recording the iconic trumpet solo was played by the great Bobby Hackett. Bobby reckons he only just made it back to the recording studio in time to play this after lunch, and was pretty drunk. He reckoned he played it better that way.
Celia Milard - You have been watching too many films! String of Pearls was recorded on 3 Nov 41; you are thinking of Little Brown Jug, recorded 10 Apr 39! Miller was lost on 15 Dec 44.
That was "little Brown Jug" he wrote it for her. And he always played it on his broadcasts as a way of saying "hello" to her. The band played it in their performance the night his plane went down. She was listening and heard it. 🎶
This is better than the version I saw/heard in London in 1958 by the Ray McKinley led GM Orchestra. To be fair, it was at the end of a long tour and Ed Zandy, the trumpet soloist, ruined one of the most important passages of the piece. I still wince when I remember it!
