March 1, 1904 is the birthday of the late bandleader, Glenn Miller. In honor of his birthday I would like to present some live recordings by Glenn starting in May of 1939. That was when he started an engagement at the Glen Island Casino a very popular nightspot. The Glen Island Casino, in addition to being a very popular nightclub, had a radio hookup. The recordings on these two shows all come from a three disc set of all the radio remotes from Glen Island. Since these are some of Glenn's early recordings we will be hearing lots of songs that Glenn never recorded and not too many of his big hits. The four-part birthday salute to Glenn I did last year is still available if you want to hear a lot of those great Miller hits. Let's go back and imagine we are tuned in starting May of 1939. Here is Glenn Miller broadcasting from the Glen Island Casino, located in New Rochelle, New York. Please visit this podcast at http://bigbandbashfm.blogspot.com
