The Last Dance

I have lost count of the times that I have carried a coffin into a church to the strains of Glenn Millers 'Moonlight Serenade'. And yet, casting an eye around the congregation, I hardly ever see a face I recognise from an audience ,while I have been playing in the Big Bands. It is a shame that some people do not realise, that there are some fantastic Big Bands out there, recreating this music, and it is 100% live, and much better than a CD in the living room. We can't complain with the OBB, as we always get great audiences, but I wonder how many people are missing out on this great experience and tributes to the Big Band legends?
