  2. "Moonlight Serenade" is an American swing #ballad composed by #GlennMiller with subsequent lyrics by #MitchellParish. It was an immediate phenomenon when released in May 1939 as an instrumental arrangement, though it had been adopted and performed as Miller's #signatureTune as early as 1938, even before it had been given the name "Moonlight Serenade". In 1991, Miller's recording of "Moonlight Serenade" was inducted into the #GrammyHallOfFame.

    You only need to change a few words to update When That Man Is Dead And Gone:

    Some fine day the news'll flash
    Satan with that orange rash
    Is asleep beneath the lawn
    When that man is dead and gone

    Tho' I think it sounds a bit more 1940 to say "that awful rash"; it'd certainly be easier to sing.

    I'm not into Al Bowlly's extended lyrics; the line about Goering's difficult in multiple ways:

    Satan'll take him by the hand
    To meet old Goering, luftwaffe man

    But maybe (with context):

    What a day to wake up on
    What a way to greet the dawn
    Satan with those tiny hands
    will fall into hell's hinterlands
    When that man is dead and gone
    When that man is dead and gone

  21. Musical Interlude One thing that took me a bit by surprise was how much Halloween-themed big band music there is. I guess they played a lot of Halloween masquerade dances, eh?

    Anyway, here's a fun track from one of the all-time great bands...

    "Swingin' at the Seance," performed by Glenn Miller and His Orchestra, unidentified vocalist.

  22. Listening to Glenn Miller on shuffle while sorting through and tagging my Billie Holiday collection. I need a whole lot more music from the 1940s.
