~Glenn Miller~ (acrostic) G-lenn Miller, his music is so wonderfully sublime, enchanting. L-istening to his "Moonlight Serenade" makes me think of love so tender. E-ndless joy, in my heart,his music always brings to me. His given N-ame was,Alton Glenn Miller.He was born in Clarinda, Iowa, U.S. N-otoriously,performed the trombone.His Glenn Miller Orchestra is divine M-usician arranger,composer,and great band leader in the swing era. I-n The Mood",is onother one of my favorite music pieces of his to this day. L-ittle Brown Jug" "American Patrol" "Tuxedo Junction" and so many more, his L-egacy is filled of of so much dancing and romance under a moonlit and stars. E-ntertaining the troops was something very close to his heart.Glenn Miller, R-emains one of the most famous and recognizable names of the big band era. Dorian Petersen Potter aka ladydp2000 copyright@2015 July.21.2015 Author's notes: My humble poem tribute to one of the greatest and most unique bandleaders of the big band era,Glenn Miller. One of my very favorite band leader I personally love and enjoy hearing the most.I listen to his music for many years now.And I believe that theres no one like him, his music can never be duplicated by anyone. His beautiful music just transcends time and space,forever. (Born March 1, 1904- Missing December 15,1944) Years active 1923-1944 In 2003 Miller, received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. His plane dissapeared while flying over the English Channel. His remains and that of his crew has never been found. Miller's status is missing in action up to this date. Long live the King of Swing!

Now you're talking my language!!! Back when I first started working and making a mere $18.00 a week, I bought an exclusive simulated white leather book type album of what I think contained 4-12 inch LPs with all his big hits! Cost me $35.00!!! A fan??? Oh yah! Love, Jack xxx
