ohhh I am jealous!!! Every so often one of the Yale University bands recreates a broadcast that Glen Miller and his Army Air Force Technical Training Command Band performed from Woolsey Hall at Yale when the band was billeted there during WWII, I went to one that they did a couple of years ago on Veterans Day. During the program they introduced the woman who acted as his secretary during the war and one of the members of the original band came onstage and sat in with his trumpet. It was a wonderful show. During "Moonlight Seranade" several older couples got up and were dancing along the walls of the theater. Quite a night.
CaptO. The worst thing about playing the trombone (besides lugging it on the bus on cold mornings) was the spit valve. I only played two years.
