On the stormy day of December 15, 1944, a military plane transporting big-band superstar Major Glenn Miller to Paris for a Christmas broadcast disappeared over the English Channel. It’s worth taking a moment, on the 70th anniversary of that event, to consider whom America lost. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HG-Do-SPvN0 |

A sad loss, but he'll live forever through his music. I've been to a couple of Miller Orchestra concerts and love his music, which perfectly encapsulates the era. I just sat and listened to that Youtube link right through, Vin, so thanks for that.

PS just pointing out that more time has passed since that recording was made to now compared to how long it was after his death that it was made (if you know what I mean). Good Lord, where does the time go?

I've always enjoyed music from that era. Channel 4 on Sat. Radio is ALL 40's music. Whenever I'm not listening to the old Radio programs.....I'm tuned in to 40's music.
Just don't make music, movies or radio shows like that era anymore.
Progress.....Hmmmmm.......you'd have a hard time convincing me. (smile)
Cheers,
