Mine too. Even when he was very old with advanced dementia, my mother and I would play his Glenn Miller or his Tommy Dorsey for him, and he would immediately smile and hum along.
Same here. As fast as the world changed after WWII, a lot of people simply got swept up in living in a hurry. No matter what, they still had this music.
As my father's health got bad, he once joked, "If ever I sit still in my chair while a song like this (Benny Goodman-Sing,Sing,Sing) is playing, I'm probably dead." He loved all kinds of good music, and encouraged us to listen by giving us "record money" every month. He always kept the most modern stereo for the time, usually a massive piece of furniture by Motorola with a good turntable and extra needles. This reminded him of his time as a Marine in WWII, and it was his favorite (Korea era & Vietnam era not so much). No wonder it's called "The greatest generation."
This brings back memories of the American 8th Army Air Corps in England during world war two. I was a young impressionable boy back then,, and I saw the Fortress's fly out on the raids over Germany. Many never came back. We saw the young American airmen on our steets and we heard their music - Glen Miller. Many went to their deaths, having the night before danced to that particular piece: American Patrol. Rest in Peace - we who saw them will never forget them.
My dad served in WWII with the 8th Army Air Corps in England. He was stationed in Kings Cliffe, close to Peterborough in England. So I grew up listening and enjoying the big band sound, especially Glenn Miller. He told me that while he was stationed there, the Glenn Miller Band performed at the airbase in Kings Cliffe and he got to hear them. I always thought it would have been so much fun to hear his music live. I just recently did some research and read that Glenn Miller's last live performance was in Kings Cliffe. Now I am wondering if this was the performance that my dad got to see and hear. My dad has passed away and I wish I had asked him if this was indeed Glenn Miller's last performance. Before he passed away, I did manage to take my dad to 2 performances of the traveling Glenn Miller Band. I do recommend to anyone that loves this music to attend if the band comes to your town.
When I was a kid, my accordion teacher handed me the sheet music for this song as my weekly assignment to learn. I loved it and the great rhythm of it made it much easier to learn how to play than many pieces. As soon as I was playing it smoothly enough, I suddenly remembered it as one I'd heard on the radio by the original Glenn Miller Orchestra. I looked up as many vinyl records of Miller's band as I could and soon I was picking many of the tunes up by ear. I've been a fan of Miller's music ever since and this great band from Sveriga does a fine job carrying on the tradition. Tack så mycket!
Always a crowd favorite. I play in a similar band that plays this same arrangement. We sometimes see youth groups wearing period dress and swing dance to this immortal piece. It is encouraging to know that there are groups of teens, in scattered pockets of the US, who are fortunate to have grownups exposing them to this timeless jazz and the dance steps that go with it. The amount of pure fun they have dancing to American Patrol, and many other immortal tunes like it, is immense. This is a superb band, and I like their side by side layout. Maybe we should set up the same way...
My dad,93 taught me to dance to Big bands....danced to the Glenn Miller band in 1967, in England. This new band, is just as great. Polished, to a high shine!!
Was able to see The Glenn Miller Orchestra live a few years ago. They were announced, the orchestra went into Moonlight Serenade and I had goose bumps throughout the concert!!! What an awesome experience!!!!! So good to be able to see music like this on youtube....
When I was in high school band in 1963, I came home and told my father we played a really neat song today that our band director had written for us (this one). Dad smiled. "He may have 'arranged' it for your band, but that song is probably older than I am." Whenever I hear this song, I think of Bill Holston (our band director) and my dad. I still play trumpet and still play the song.
Look im 63 and maybe an old soul inside but .... I love not just great traditional jazz greats and there are a lot of timeless great recordings but I also love the swing era jazz music again ? There were some really hit swinging tunes out there and this is very much one of those great tunes from the swing era.
GOSH THIS TAKES ME BACK IN TIME TO THE WAR YEARS THE BEST ORCHESTRA I HAVE EVER HEARD. THINGS WERE SO EMOTIONAL THEN WITH SO MUCH GOING ON AND SO MUCH DRAMA ALL AROUND US.
One of Miler's many A+ songs. I'm a wild of rock'n'roll. I remember the rock'n'roll "Big Bang" in 1955 (Chuck Berry, Fats Domino, Little Richard, Bo Diddley).. But I'm still drawn to the big band music of the '40s.. It's my parents' music, but it always spoke to me.
Sensational!!!!! My Mom took me to a concert at Woodfield Mall in Illinois when I was in 8th grade... Miller's records were in a box in my grandma's attic... I played 2nd alto for the TCU Jazz ensemble from 79 to 84... this is really really outstanding.....
American Patrol, Little Brown Jug, and Tuxedo Junction always made it fun for the trombones (which is rare for most group musical arrangements). I love playing Miller and Sousa tunes on my trombone.
I seem to be witnessing the real great orchestra of Glenn Miller. Greetings. ruclips.net/video/fJD5joPPmik/видео.html *TUXEDO JUNCTION* Song of *Glenn Miller* Guitar Solo Version cover by *Duane Eddy*
I like to listen to this type of music. Also classic stuff also. I saw the Glen Miller story on on of the movie channels but never got to see the end of it. I heard he never came home. R.IP. Mr. Miller may your music continue to inspire all who hear it. Thank you.
Glenn promised to play his wife favorite song little brown jug on the radio broadcast if he made it there alright. Just before they played the song the radio announcer said the Glenn's plane was missing.
Yes I am. When I was about 7 or 8 years old m y oldest brother had band practice in our living room. This was before all of them went into the service (WWII). the drummer let me beat on his base between numbers. My best memory is that they all came back and married and went to college on the GI bill. MOST are gone now, rest in peace Bill.
Lordy, lordy, that's a dead-on identical version of the classic WWII song. It sends shivers up my old spine! If I didn't know any better, I'd swear that Mr. Miller himself was there in his white coat leading the band with his trombone, too!
Wonderful! I could not stop my foot from bouncing. And the memories from WWII... Oh how I respect those men who fought in that war. This song helped me imagine being one of them.
Margot Shelby I think so too. I was born in 1969 but I still am in love with the ww2 swing era big band era. I talk about this with people in their 90s which lights up a smile on their face.
Caledonia you may have seen my Uncle.He flew with the Eigth many missionsHe was one of the lucky ones and lived through that ordeal to return home safely.
Yes they the acoustic sound if u close your eyes I would swear it is the best this was the execution of Glenn listened to other big bands on u tube but this is excellent sound like original what orchestra
Wish they'd put on the show that glenn did. Good music but no soul, no humor, no show. Glen used put his slide in the drummers face. The would jump around and put on a show. That's half of what made Glenn's stand out from the rest.
I must have seen them right about this time ... there were two versions touring the country, and I saw them in Milwaukee. The legacy has been richly handed down. It will always be the music that won the war.
Definitivamente, por más que se quiera, quitar el recuerdo, de que esta música está ligada a la Segunda Guerra mundial pues sería Imposible, pero la Música es ha sido y sera, el mejor medio de comunicación, entre loa Países todo el Mundo es La Musica el Idioma Universal
My wifes parents lived with us , no old folks home,we looked after them meds meals,washed the dirty bed sheets he had Alzheimers , not doing very well ,played glenn miller one morning,he couldnt talk any more ,he lit rite up " now that was good music"
It’s 1945. Your in a bar after you came home from winning the war. People congratulate you and praise you as you walk in. Having good times with your pals like old times
Yes ME! Love Jazz and it's the reason why I, an Argentinian fully LEGAL immigrant, came in 1965 and now I am a FULLY LEGAL AMERICA LOVER !!! MAKE GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
This has the right sound, bounce and swing,in the 50s or 60s a Glenn Miller bio pic was produced, didn't have the right sound, could play all the notes, didn't sound right,had find some of the old retired guys from Glenn Miller band , put them on the correct sound
I remember the Song of India as the theme song for Irwin Johnson and his Early Worm on WBNS radio in Columbus, Ohio when I was a lad of 5 or 6 in the late 40’s and 50’s. It was a pleasant moment to hear it again so many years later!
Great playing and a wonderful sound mix. Shame the tempo starts at 180bpm and ends at 196 bmp! It was intended as a dance number so a stricter tempo would have been expected. Nevertheless, still a good performance.
People: "This is nostalgic, back in my day listening to this orchestral music while in service in WW2". Me: "Circus Charlie Stage 1" *And that annoying pale eyed lion while being burned into a hoolahoop.

It is impossible not to like this music well because it is real music!
I'm from the U.K and I love the songs from this period, really thankful my music teacher exposed me to this song
Absolutely the best music in the world
......can not be surpassed
My dad,93 taught me to dance to
Big bands....danced to the Glenn

This new band, is just as great.

One of my favorites from my days of playing sax in a jazz band. Loved this piece.
I've listened to a number of "Glenn Miller" bands but this one is most authentic to the "original"
Agree. The tempo of play was correct and not slowed down like many tribute bands.
Look im 63 and maybe an old soul inside but .... I love not just great traditional jazz greats and there are a lot of timeless great recordings but I also love the swing era jazz music again ?

Timeless!!! If this world is around 1,000 years from now I'll bet this music will still be listened to.😊
I love this song and love this version. Classic.😁
This is truly American music at its best...Glenn, and the Band, we miss you.

My goodness 😍 I can listen to this over and over and never gets tired 😂 this is real jazz music..

2024 this music never gets old
I agree
I've dance all G.Miller's music,and I do today,too.Armando H.,86 years old,from Porto Alegre City,at South of Brazil...
Just wonderful music! Thank you for sharing!👍😊
This band really honors the Glen Miller band sound, I love it.
I am listening to this right now and like it very much. Excellent interprets of the original - this band!
Incredible, astonishing, stunning music... Cheers from Costa Rica.
So professional can't tell this band from Glenn miller's. Glenn would be so proud of these musicians.what talent.marilynnlynneberry
Satisfecho quedaría el sr Glen Miller con esta interpretación fabulosa!?🎸🎶
I am listening to this in 2020, I play tenor sax and clarinet in a big band, am in the RAF and ITS AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!
So close to the original. Jan Slottenas is Gods gift to millerfans.
Eh tempo bom não volta mais agora é só recordações! Parabéns por dar vida a esse clássico! Espero que venha mais jóias como essa!!!.
This band is better than any of the other Glen Miller bands I have heard.
YEAH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's a little too much
Sound and style are there, but tempo a smidge (2 clikcks) too fast.

Omg this is one of the happiest melodies I've heard

Excellent, this is a marvelous orchestra.
アメリカンパトロールは小学校の始業の前に毎日流れていましたから、本当に懐かしいです。
大好きです。
有り難う！
Vc é natural de que país?
Fresh and fantastic arrangement. Glenn MiIller would have been proud.
I have loved this song since the day I first heard it.
Came for the way the thumbnail makes him look like he has multiple arms, stayed for the top-notch jazz
Alain 11. J'ai vu cet orchestre, merveilleux. Je suis fan et j'ai été surpris du solo d'un jeune batteur.
Een nummer van Glenn om nooit te vergeten - wat een sound en uitvoering prachtig
Excelente orquesta y música, gracias, es un agrado escuchar...

Wonderful! I could not stop my foot from bouncing. And the memories from WWII... Oh how I respect those men who fought in that war. This song helped me imagine being one of them.
Listening. Also been to three Glenn Miller orchestra concerts live.
I'm impressed!!! Mr. Glenn Miller would have approved!!!

It's called an "arrangement."
