Just looked at the Glenn Miller Orchestra website and noticed they will be playing on the AQ in August for a nine-day cruise from Louisville to Vicksburg.
Here's what is written on the AQ website:
Glenn Miller Orchestra
The big band show, with a sound of its own, draws rave reviews performing original arrangements of classics that defined a generation. Swing, sway or just tap in time with nostalgic tunes like In the Mood, Moonlight Serenade, Chattanooga Choo Choo and many others.
Voyage dates: July 27, August 3, December 28
Doesn't look like GMO will be on a July 27 voyage as their schedule has them on a two-night stand in Indiana.
The expanded section of the website is here Mississippi River Cruises from Louisville to Vicksburg | American Queen Cruises
Though the cheapest tour is too rich for my blood at the moment, I'm hoping to have things in order for the December 28 voyage. We'll see how that goes. I'm working on a documentary of Bandsmen in World War II and Glenn Miller, of course, is one of the featured people. If I can get this project drafted and financed by then, I might be able to make the journey.
If anyone makes the August excursion, please put out a trip report and let us know how it is.
