Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
I'm in
the mood for some Big Band Sounds.
I was NOT in the mood for having my internet service going down for 19
hours, but it did anyway.
BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bR3K5uB-wMA - In the Mood - Tex Beneke and the Glenn Miller Orchestra, 1946
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_the_Mood:
"In the Mood" is a song popularized by the American bandleader Glenn Miller in 1939, and one of the best-known arrangements of the big band era. Miller's rendition topped the charts one year later and was featured in the 1941 movie Sun Valley Serenade... The song was composed by Joe Garland and Andy Razaf, and arranged by Glenn Miller.[1] The main theme previously appeared under the title of "Tar Paper Stomp", credited to jazz trumpeter/bandleader Wingy Manone, who recorded it several times in 1929 and 1930. A story says that after "In the Mood" became a hit, Manone was paid by Miller and his record company not to contest the copyright.

Sad But
Nice Dog Story My dog goes for the paper every morning and he knows Sunday is his day off. So far he seems happy to just get two balls in his mouth, so I guess this knd of story does remind me how nice it is to have a good dog friend. |
Thanks so much, Billy!
