L.A. Moment

Dec. 25, 1944: Glenn Miller’s plane disappears.

I was coming back from lunch at Koo-Koo-Roo on Grand Avenue this afternoon and while waiting for the light, I heard Glenn Miller’s “American Patrol” floating out a window of one of the apartments on Bunker Hill. An L.A. moment.

In the 1960s, Glenn Miller's widow and their son, Steven, were living in Arcadia. I happened to meet them due to the fact that Steven and I shared an interest in skydiving. Good people. I always thought Glenn Miller's music was the best of the Big Band era. He had something special.
