As one YouTube commenter observed:
patricio amenabar 3 years ago (edited) We need more of this type of music, people would be happier.
Agree.. We always had Mantovani, Roger Williams or one of the big bands playing on our "record player" when growing up - it made such a nice atmosphere.. and I gained a love for music. (Throw in classical as well,)
ReplyDeletefrom Wiki... PEnnsylvania 6-5000 is a telephone number in New York City, written in the 2L+5N (two letters, five numbers) format that was common from about 1930 into the 1960s. The number is best known from the 1940 hit song "Pennsylvania 6-5000", a swing jazz and pop standard recorded by the Glenn Miller Orchestra. Its owner, the Hotel Pennsylvania, claims it to be the oldest continuing telephone number in New York City.[1] The hotel opened on January 25, 1919, but the exact age of the telephone number and the veracity of the hotel's claim are unknown. For many years, callers to 212-736-5000 were greeted with the hotel's phone system recorded greeting that includes a portion of the song[2] but the hotel did not reopen after being closed during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is scheduled to be torn down.[3]
ReplyDeleteI heard on the radio that the Glenn Miller Orchestra was coming to town. Apparently, musicians are carrying on the legacy!

Apparently, there is also a competing Glenn Miller Orchestra...

Reminds me of the many Bob Wills and Texas Playboy progeny tumbling around the Southwest even into the 90's
Nothing better than music from the Glen Miller Orchestra. Orchestra music was big in my home growing up and gave me today's sincere appreciate for the finer music of our times. That is when music was music and still is.
