Glen Miller Orchestra

We were lucky to get tickets to go and see the Glen Miller Orchestra.  I love the music.

I really like the film  he Glenn Miller Story,  and so of course images of James Stewart and June Allyson popped into my head at particular points.   when they played Little Brown Jug I remembered how it was (according to the film anyway) recorded as a Christmas surprise for Glenn's wife,  and of course (in the film anyway), his plane was lost at sea.

I could see James Stewarts face when he played "String of Pearls" for June Allyson to hear for the first time;   and all the other well known numbers brought similar images popping up in my head.

Absolutely fabulous show.
