So, after watching last night’s Supernatural episode on YouTube tonight (and checking out the link from Brian’s blog to the “Sex and Beer” vid — was that inspiring or what?! LOL) I get to dinkin’ around and searching for various vids.

Yes, eventually I came around to searching for the Swingin’ Mr. Miller. I did a search for GM stuff about three months ago and had maybe 10 or 20 videos show up, most of which had nothing to do with Glenn Miller the bandleader but may have had something to do with somebody named “Glenn” or somebody named “Miller” or somebody named Glenn Miller who obviously was not the same as what I was looking for. There were a couple of actual GM vids in there, song performances pulled from the two movies he and his band did. But otherwise, not much.

But tonight….holy Chesterfield cigarettes! Where’d all these vids come from?!?! Multiple pullings of song performances from the two movies, fanvid/slide shows of pics of Miller with a Miller song playing in the background, video recordings of the modern day GMO performing, a TV commerical for The Essential Glenn Miller CD collection, even a foreign video of Olympic skater Scott Hamilton skating to…In the Mood! And looking at the dates, a lot of these vids have been posted in the last two months!

Dang! Shoot, I put together a lil’ slide show vid over a year ago when I was first learning how to use Windows Movie Maker and I used Moonlight Serenade for the music. I oughta post the darn thing!

Actually, I’m starting work on a GM tribute site and….man I gotta git to work! So far, all I’ve done is multiple desktop wallpapers. Remember my beef a month or so ago about the OFFICIAL GM site and their Tommy Dorsey faux paux with a desktop wallpaper? Obviously I had issues with that as I made a couple of wallpapers and posted them here to my blog. Well I’ve made more. Here’s another one…

Nice huh? I even impressed myself with that one. Khee!

Anyhow, since we’re sharing YouTube vids, here’s one of the original Glenn Miller Orchestra performing. From the 1942 film “Orchestra Wives” look sharp for a young Cesar Romero at the piano and Jackie Gleason (yes, Sheriff Buford T. Justice!) on the Bass. No they weren’t part of the GMO at the time, they (along with George Montgomery as one of the trumpet players) were substituted into the band for the film.
