a favourite beat and sound . . . . . think I know it word perfect and this is the kinda music playing in my head as I walk down the street . . . . . . . 






Glenn Miller’s “I’ve Got a Gal From Kalamazoo” from Orchestra Wives (1942) with Jackie Gleason playing a bass player, Cesar Romero playing a piano player, Marion Hutton, The Modernaires, Tex Beneke, and The Nicholas Brothers burning up the dance floor! Hotcha!


From the same movie and rare footage of the Miller band playing . . . . . 

and I'd better include this . . . . . .
