[78-L] Paul Tanner, last surviving member of Glenn Miller's orchestra, dies

[Taylor Bowie]

I guess a case could be made,  but I'd define the classic Miller band as the 
one which the public knew and loved of the 1939 - 42 period...the one which 
made the records which made the band the most popular of the era...and still 
the most popular,  70 years later.
