I am going out on a “limb” just in case there is young ones who do not know of Glenn Miller. This is one of best ones from 1945 (I’ve Got A Gal In) Kalamazoo.

Wow! How many times did I type Gordon/Warren into the Ascap/Socan forms? Twice a year! Thanks for the ‘flashback’.
Tex, Marion and the Modernaires …. ’nuff said! Looks and sounds great in “Orchestra Wives”
Actually, Tex and the gang do well singing Chatanooga Choo Choo in “Sun Valley Serenade” but Dorothy Dandridge and the Nicholas Brothers knock it out of the park.
Chuck, you must be a dyed-in-the-wool Miller fan.
