A friend took me to see "The World Famous Glenn Miller Orchestra" this evening. It was a great show. From an historical perspective, I learned that Glenn Miller (the original) disbanded his very popular orchestra in 1942 to join the military and form the "Glenn Miller Army Air Force Band" to entertain the troops in Europe. Sadly, on a flight from England to France, his plane disappeared over the English Chanel. That was on December 15, 1944. I was two days old, so I don't remember the incident.
The music was great this evening. Lot's of people were clapping along and one older couple got up and danced in the aisle, which is really pretty tricky considering how the aisles in the Embassy slope. All in all, a really great show.
