Welcome to Part Two of my Glenn Miller Birthday Salute. I finally recovered from my bad cold and my voice is now back to the way I used to sound. As you know, March 1, 1904 is the birthday of the late bandleader, Glenn Miller. In this second part, I am continuing with these live broadcasts of the Miller Band from the Glen Island Casino which is located in New Rochelle New York. Bands started broadcasting from there in 1932 and the first band to achieve some popularity because of these broadcasts was the band of Ozzie Nelson. Since Glenn was just becoming a popular band in 1939 there are not a lot of his hit recordings. Instead we find many songs that Glenn never recorded commercially. On this show we have 4 fifteen minute remotes instead of two thirty minute remotes like we heard in part one. Here is part two of Glenn Miller broadcasting from the Glen Island Casino, located in New Rochelle, New York.
In other news Big Band Bash is now on TuneIn. You can go to TuneIn.com and search for Big Band Bash and listen to the podcast there at anytime. I am currently working on submitting BBB to Google Play. I tried earlier but they are a little fussy on the icons and graphics that go with the show. Stay tuned for more information and thank you for listening.
