1. My Dad Loved Miller

He was still a boy when Glenn was at his peak popularity, and became a cool jazz fan in the late 40s, early 50s.
But, never lost his love for Miller & his big band.
I actually learned this song for a piano recital because I knew my dad would dig it
I think I was 10 at the time.
