Big Band Serenade 219 Special Glenn Miller On The BBC

3 min • 14 oktober 2009

Glenn Miller and His Orchestra performed for 13 radio shows per week in a BBC studio and were constantly shuttled to different bases (35, all told) by aeroplanes that unfortunately had unpressurized cabins, which caused a persisting bad case of ringing in the ears for Miller. In the next five and a half months, they would perform in 71 concerts, which were all broadcast over the Allied Expeditionary Forces Network, beamed at troops in Britain and elsewhere in Europe. (In fact, one general commented that Miller's band's performances were the biggest morale boosters for the enlisted men, next to letters from home). His 'Moonlight Serenade', which had been recorded under the RCA Victor Bluebird label in 1939, went on to become America's second national anthem. And even during the war, Miller continued to rack up civilian fans – it would seem that the British princesses, Elizabeth and Margaret Rose, were avid followers and almost never missed his nightly broadcasts.Listen To Big Band Serenade Radio, just click the link,http://www.shoutcast.com/shoutcast_player?stationid=997748&Genre=big&ContentFlag=1&isCallInternal=&related=
