[78-L] Glenn Miller interview?

[Dingo]

It's not on the UK HMV civilian band Limited Editions issues which I have 
nor the Victor AAF box set or any other LP's I've seen. I first heard it 
late '60's/early '70's on Alan Dell's BBC Radio big band programme and it 
wouldn't surprise me if that was the original source of many, if not all the 
copies which have now popped up. On his programme Dell often played Miller 
AAF/AEF material which were not, at the time, commercially available but 
invariably ruined them for the tapers by talking over much of the track. He 
did that with the AEF/Anne Shelton track of "I'll Get By" and faded it out 
before the end . It wasn't until the other day that I heard the complete 
uninterupted track (and broadcast) for the first time on that tuxjunction 
website. However, IIRC, Dell did not spoil the interview recording when he 
broadcast it. I probably still have the tape of that particular Dell 
programme, but where ??????

Thanks, fellas. That site is interesting reading, and, yes, that is the same 
interview I got off the radio in 1970. I remain curious what the source may 
have been in 1970 - was that on a commercial Miller LP, one of those box 
sets maybe?

Rodger & Al,

Don't know why I didn't think of it before, there's a 'good' copy on
YouTube.

The interviewer was Vernon Harris for a (BBC ?) programme called Wishing
Well.
The emphasis on the names "Jeff", "Rodney" and "Rocky" makes me wonder if
these were code words for the Resistance.
