Gentlemen,  I just got to see the Glenn Miller Orchestra in concert.  Gotta love the music of the Thirties and Forties!

Great stuff!  Back in 01 or so my family took a cruise on the SS John Brown.  http://www.ssjohnwbrown.org/  Glenn Miller band, P51 flyovers.  Of course, I spent most of my time down in the engine room with that lovely Triple expansion engine (Sure did PO the ex!)

Cool!  I watched the band at the theater literally two blocks from my house.  Can't beat that!

" in the Mood "   " Pennsylvania 6-5000 "  "A String Of Pearls"

Really can't decide between "Moonlight Serenade" and "In the Mood" as my  favourite.

Depends on the "mood" I guess. ;D

Anyways, huge fan of Glenn Miller here.

You made a cruise on a Liberty Ship and you are under 80? Kind of envious here.  ;D

That's not even the oldest ship I've cruised on!  (I think the Missouri was a bit older . . .)

It was ordered earlier and laid down earlier but, comissioned later (thanks Wikipedia  ;D).

I saw the Missouri in Lisbon late 1986, November, I think. Made no cruise though.  ::) Only saw it. And I'm sure glad I did.  ;D

I got to see one of the BB's at sea once when I was a a Midshipman training cruise.  Those things look incredibly cool at sea!

Did I ever tell you I was on your boat back when it was a museum in Bremerton?
