	Glenn Miller - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Miller felt it was important that the band be as close as possible to the fighting troops so in mid-1944 he had the group transferred to London, where they were renamed the American Band of the Allied Expeditionary Force.
		Miller's disappearance remains a mystery; the fact that neither his remains nor the wreckage of his plane (a single-engined Noorduyn Norseman UC-64, USAAF Tail Number 44-70285) were ever recovered from the Channel have led to many conspiracy theories over the years.
		Glenn had been a chain-smoker for much of his life and by late 1944 was suffering from severe weight loss and shortness of breath, leading to speculation that he was terminally ill, probably with lung cancer.

	Glenn Miller History
		Glenn’s grandparents were a part of the westward movement of people during the 1800's and moved to the Clarinda area around 1870.

		The Glenn Miller Army Air Force Band was extremely busy and Glenn wrote home that in one month they played at 35 different bases, while performing 40 radio broadcasts in their spare time.

		The Glenn Miller Story is a rather boring 1953 movie about a guy who always appeared as boring himself, except for the swinging music he arranged and conducted.
		Glenn Miller (born Alton Glen Miller on March 1, 1904, in Clarinda, Iowa) was an American jazz musician and band leader in the swing era who was probably the genre's best-selling performer from 1939-42.
		Miller's disappearence remains a mystery; the fact that neither Miller's remains nor the wreckage of his plane (a single-engined Noorduyn Norseman UC-64, USAAF Tail Number 44-70285) were ever recovered from the Channel have led to many conspiracy theories over the years.

	Review - Glenn Miller - Were the Gospel Miracles Invented by the New Testament Authors? by Robert M. Price (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Glenn Miller, in another admirably erudite discussion, this time of Jewish midrashic and haggadic techniques, seeks to rebut the claim made by some New Testament scholars that in freely amplifying Jesus stories, the evangelists/tradents were simply following in the footsteps of the rabbis.
		Miller thinks to debunk the whole idea because there are somewhat different scholarly versions and descriptions of it, as if that meant anything; and because warrior hero myths don’t fit it, as if that were somehow relevant; and because not all hero stories contain every single feature of the Ideal Type.
		Miller takes on Evan Fales and Richard Carrier, who claim that, given the gullibility of people in the ancient world, we would not be entitled to trust the claims even of eyewitnesses to gospel miracles, if we had reason to believe any of these tales stemmed from eyewitnesses.

		Miller was the first artist to be credited with a million-selling disc (for "Chattanooga Choo Choo"), and was the toast of North American popular music during World War II for his uniformed orchestra's fusion of sober virtuosity, infectious dance rhythms and varied intonation of brass and woodwind.
		Miller's original arrangements were regarded as definitive by those multitudes who continued to put repackagings such as The Real Glenn Miller And His Orchestra high into the international charts as late as 1977.
		The enduring quality of Miller's work is most forcibly underlined by the realization that his tunes have become part of the instant musical vocabulary of listeners young and old.

	Music in the Miller Mood
		Glenn Miller formed his first orchestra in 1937 and played a number of engagements in various parts of the country throughout the year.
		Glenn Miller’s focus was always on the entire orchestra, not on individual soloists—an emphasis that permanently estranged Miller from jazz purists and led jazz critics and musicians to debunk his music, then and now.
		Miller’s AAF band was first-rate by any standards and included such outstanding sidemen as drummer Ray McKinley, saxophonist Hank Freeman, trumpeters 'Zeke' Zarchy and Bernie Privin, pianist Mel Powell, and vocalist Johnny Desmond, who moved to Chicago in 1948 to sing on Don McNeil’s Breakfast Club every weekday morning.

		The most popular white danceband leader of the swing era, Miller was also an influential arranger, who had an important impact on the music of several bands in the 1920s and 1930s, most notably those of drummer Ben Pollack and the Dorsey Brothers.
		But it was Miller's arrangements for his own bands, and notably the one he led from 1938 that were responsible for his great popularity.
		These involved sentimental ballads such as Moonlight Serenade, in which he adopted the trademark of the clarinet doubling the melody with the saxophones, and simplified uptempo swing dance tunes, such as In The Mood.
