Glenn Miller, I think his square moniker was Alton Gllenn Miller was
born 100 years ago today. He lucked out with a weekly program on radio
for his band. It was "The Chesterfield Supper Club" advertising
cigarettes. His mother was a member in good standing of The Women`s
Christian Temberance Union and an arch enemy of tobacco as well. When
mom met with the other ladies, they chided her about Glenn`s new
sponsor. Mom said that of course nobody should smoke, but if they were
adicted, they should be sure their cigarettes were Chesterfield
cigarettes.
I lived in Portugal for a number of years and traveled several times
across southern Spain to go and return between Lisbon and Seville. I
gained a new respect for the word "meander" after crossing and
recrossing the Rio Meander countless times.
