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=
