| | GLENN MILLER - VOLUME 1 |
 | | Miller came up the hard way, as, indeed, did another man, Benny Goodman, whose habit of glaring at members of his band earned him the sobriquet of "The Ray," but who was later to become something of a romantic figure himself. |
 | | Alton Glenn Miller, a husky kid out of Clarinda, Iowa; North Platte, Nebraska; Grant City, Oklahoma (where, according to a story that may or may not be apocryphal, he paid for a trombone by milking cows for two dollars a week), and Fort Morgan, Colorado, was nothing if not determined. |
 | | Miller's original group, incidentally, had a saxophone "sound," but one with a baritone lead, which was almost exactly the reverse of the celebrated sound which is so evident throughout this album. |
