 IF YOU READ THIS FAR, You deserve Easter Eggs,  here's just a few from a dedicated fan.

"The last track on the Glenn Miller disc is from the band's final remote broadcast before Capt. Miller went off to the Army Air Force and his magnificent orchestra was dissolved. This performance of "Jukebox Saturday Night" has guest Harry James standing in for himself. 

When the song ends, Glenn announces that starting next week, Harry and band will take over Miller's three night a week radio show. Perhaps knowing this is their last hurrah, Glenn's boys play the show-closing "Mooonlight Serenade" at a near-dirge pace. In hindsight, this was a sadder parting than any of them could possibly know."

"Most Big Band collections that include Will Bradley's "Beat Me Daddy, Eight to the Bar" only offer Side A of the 78. Here, the flip has been seamlessly edited on for a five-plus minute performance. The same has been done with "Chattanooga Choo Choo." 

This movie soundtrack performance includes the usual vocals plus a refrain from Dorothy Dandridge and the Nicholas Bros. Miller's "Star Dust" is a band remote, "Tuxedo Junction" from a "Make Believe Ballroom" show. 

"I Dreamt I Dwelt in Harlem" is a Cafe Rouge air check, "Little Brown Jug" a Chesterfield broadcast made over three years after the original record, yet it's arguably a superior version."
