This is so sad, another piece of big band history gone, when you think of all the broadcasts Miller did from there and other big bands and that famous phone number now gone..Very sad.
Who doesn't love this one? It seems that Jerry Gray's arrangements, such as this fun one, went over bigger, but of course GM's whole staff wrote some great charts. The orchestra was always excellent under Mac's leadership, as we hear.
Hotel Pennsylvania is being torn down as of this writing in 2023. Good thing we have this song to remember it by.

What I like about the Ray McKinley GM Orch is they always sound so fresh and look as if they are having a ball every minute of it.
@@CCJazzmen Absolutely!
Thanks Roger😎
Super !
Nice to hear this again and thanks for the interesting background info.
The main riff for this tune was taken from GM's version of The Dipsy Doodle!!!
