's breakthrough.
On May 17th Glenn's Orchestra played to a sold out audience at Glen Island Casino, New Rochelle and by the end of the session all box office records had been broken. At the beginning of September they travelled to Baltimore and played at the Hippodrome Theatre again all box office records had been broken from there Glenn's Orchestra moved to New York and played at the State Fair in front of the biggest ever audience.
It was on April 4th of the same year that Glenn Miller composed his signature tune 'MoonlightSerenade' and 'In The Mood' later in the year.

Advantages: Excellent backing tracks, competent vocals, a couple of strong pop hits Disadvantages: Not much in the way of soul, some dull tracks, all rather dated now

Seeing several different ones we were comparing prices and to how many tunes there was on each one, there was one that just played one tune and needed to be set on a set of draws or some thing, another one with just images of winnie the pooh, and one that was an aquarium that played four gentle nature sounds and two lullaby?s.
So as you can see there are quite a few different ones available.
The one that caught our eye the most was the ?Playskool Sleepytime Serenade?
It was priced somewhere in between the others at £19.99 and seemed like the best buy of the lot as it played a massive NINE tunes! The only ...
