Hello Jan:
Growing into a fan of swing music after seeing Glen Miller Orchestra in conceert a couple of months ago in Nebraska. Just enjoyed double fearure of Miller's two movies from the 40's. Saw your info in Glen Miller Orchestra news letter and enjoyed your archive Artie Shaw program on wyyr. I hope to enjoy listening to your Swing Museum in the future. Great website too.

It was my good fortune, while in the British Royal Air Force during WW2 to meet your dad and I became good friends with many of the orchestra and especially Jimmy Priddy and Vince Carbone. They were great days and great people. Alas, most have now left this earth, but while they were here provided us with music that will remain with us forever.

Hi Jan,
So nice talking to you again on WYYR.COM. Love your show! Love your Dad and Uncle and love your voice! Terrific! Just wanted to mention that since you're featuring Gene Krupa Friday night. I'm sure you're aware he made a movie with Frances Langford in 1947 called 'BEAT THE BAND.' It's a wonderful little movie with great music. Gene does 'SHADOW RHAPSODY' and I believe 'DRUM BOOGIE' as well as the famous 'Boiler Room' sequence where he drums on the steam pipes while accompanying Frances. I put 3 ten minute segments of it on youtube, just go to Carloquinto where you'll find all of my Frances Langford videos and 'BEAT THE BAND.'
All the Best,
Chuck

Enjoy your program. This is no Laughing Matter is the flip side of Humpy Dumpty Heart. I have the original 78. Your father and uncle were an inspiration to be a singer. It is my passion and Always In My Heart did it. Your father's first recording when he came out of service was on Apollo label. The song Along With Me. Unfortunately some one appreciated that recording as much as i did and it was gone. I can not remember what was on the other side. If you have the recording it would be great to hear it again. Your uncle's firsst recording was As Long As I Live (still have that one) Thanks for listening

Your program is enjoyable. Humpty Dumpty Heart was the flip side of This Is No Laughin g Matter. I have the original 78. Your father and Uncle were my inspiratation to wanting to be a band singer at 12 years old . The song Always In My Heart. I am still singing at 83 and each time before I do my songs I think of those wonderful singers and thank them.

Hi Jan, enjoyed your appearance on Chris Valenti's WYYR.COM station. Love your music and your work in keeping the great music going. I love the 40's especially, Your Dad and Uncle, all of the great bands. I'm a big fan of Frances Langford, such a big fan, I've written two Time Travel Novels Starring Frances Langford and working on the third. I look forward to hearing you in person sometime...Chuck

Hi Jan, I recently met Ray by cutting his hair at my barber shop. He gave me a copy of your cd in lieu of the haircut $. Just kidding! Nice cd! You sound wonderful and your dad and uncle must be proud of you as they look down from the heavenly band stand. So glad you recorded one of my favorites, Lazy Afternoon. Did you get to see Mark Murphy when he was in town in Feb.? He came into my shop and what a pleasure to meet one of my (living) jazz idols! I hope to jam with Ray eventually. A local lady singer and I are putting a duo together (using backing tracks) and I find singers like yourself to be a personal inspiration. Hoping to hear you live sometime soon. BTW, did you know trumpet player/singer Stacy Rowles (Jimmy's daughter) by chance? Peace, Pat

I absolutely love your rendition of "That's All" -- it's beautiful and soulful. I am a huge fan of the 30s and 40s music, especially Glenn Miller, and your music keeps that alive.
Thank you for enriching our lives with your beautiful voice.

I enjoy your recording of You Go To My Head. Would love to contact people who are big fans of your father. Your father was so very much of the Glenn Miller band. I saw your father walking along Broadway after the war but being shy I could not talk to him letting him know how i would listen to every note he sang on my wind up portable phonograph. In music he was my friend.

I just want to say that, in my opinion, your father was the very best male Big Band singer. Others high on my list are his brother (Bob Eberly) and Harry Cool (with the Dick Jurgens Orchestra).
Some of my all-time favorite songs are "A Nightingale Sang in Berkely Square" (both the Glenn Miller and Gene Krupa versions, with Howard DuLany on the vocals on the latter), "Moonlight Cocktails" and "Serenade in Blue."

Hi Jan,'
I've had the pleasure of meeting you and seeing you perform at the Glenn Miller Festival in Clarinda several times. You are great. Recently, I told Chris Valenti(WYYR) about you and you both got together recently for his Sunday night show. He said that it went very well. I hope to listen to it on ksav archives. As historian and past president of the Friends of Johnny Mercer group here in Savannah, I am always searching for radio and tv shows that Johnny appeared on. I don't know if you are familiar with the Museum of Broadcast Communications website which has over 7000 hours of TV and Radio shows digitized for free enjoyment by the public. It it remarkable. I watche d a Perry Como Kraft Music Hall Show from 1963 that features Tex Beneke, Wynne Miller, Ray Eberle and the Modernaires. They do a Glenn Miller tribute, but your dad is featured singing "Call Me Irresponsible" as the "new' song of the "something old, something borrowed...." segment. He also sings "You Make Me Feel So Young" with Perry as they exchange pictures of their grandchildren! It is a fun show. The MBC website can be reached by googling museum.tv. To enjoy the archives all you have to do is login wih a password and you can watch or listen on you computer monitor. I am able to record the programs onto DVD as you cannot download them. I would be glad to send you a DVD of the show if you don't already have it. I hope that I will see you and your husband in Clarinda this June. I have already registered and really look forward this year's festival. All My Best, David Oppenheim-

Hello Jan! Just a quick note to say that I just listened to your interview on Chris Valenti's Big Band Broadcast and you are terrific! I listen to his shows on Saturdays and Sundays are kind of tough for me so unfortunately I missed it live. Kinda windy and cold here in Chicago, but thanks for warming it up a bit with your talent & charm, Jack.

I have been a fan of your father's for years ... have just about every record he made with the Miller Band, but I always wondered what his family ancestor was. Maybe you can tell me. Thanks Bob C.

Talking with Lorri Hafer...she thought I should pass this on. I was the M.C. in Hoosick Falls when we had the Eberle tribute. I don't think you were there but Bob Jr was. I sang At Last when the Eberle Way sign was posted. I had tried to get Buddy Morrow and the T.D. orc but the budget was to thin. So there you've got a story. A rock jock and the big band came together to form EBERLE WAY. Rest of story....your dad and I almost co-hosted a show on WHN in N.Y. I don"t know why it didn't come off but I feel his health had something to do with it. I also have a farm in Hoosic Falls.
I am fully retired and living in Fla. and still doing shows....fewer and fewer, the ships seem to be filling slower.
I enjoy your work...and a good tour to you.

I live in Bethany, Oklahoma...and I was just listening to a radio station in Capetown South Africa...and a gentleman that I know via the interner, Henry Holloway, was the host of the show and He played your "Just You, Just Me"...I am now a BIG fan of yours.
Perhaps you and Henry will met in Iowa during the Glenn Miller memorial event. You may have already met?
I was a big band vocalist in the mid 40's. I was singing with a road
band when I was 15 years old. I am now 82...and can still cut it.
I did a brief stint with Jimmy Dorsey. I was in the Navy at that time.

I have many of the original 78's of Glenn Miller. I am a big fan of your father. I am a singer also and at 80 the voice is still clear. My favorite songs by him are Always In My Heart (first time i wanted to a singer) Under Blue Canadian Skies, The Angels Came thru i could go on and on. The best to you in your career. Don

JAN,
I have always thought your father was the greatest big band singer of them all. And I listen to them all every day on the big band swing music channel on the cable TV. I listened to the cuts here on your website and I think you have a great voice. Had your father sung in a more recent era he surely would have been richly rewarded. Well he has been rewarded; he had you.

I enjoyed my visit to your web site this evening, Jan. Someday I hope to hear you in person. Your father has been one of my favorites for a long time. I'm glad you had a good time at Twinwood and Clarinda. Sandy Lyman Hintz told me about his Twinwood visit this year and said that you were a sweetheart. He just posted an entry about his Twinwood visit on my big band blog, The Palomar. Stop by sometime and look around! I think you will enjoy yourself.
Cordially,

Hi Jan! I really did fall in love with you when we finally met on the "bar terrace" at Twinwood, and I fall in love again every time I play your "Blue Champagne" CD. I'll be sending for the book you wrote about your dad, and I hope that you will autograph it for me.
If you haven't seen it already, pull up George Spink's "The Palomar". I hope you like what I wrote.

Jan!
Just as Harry did, I also heard Malcolm Laycock play "Blue Champagne" on BBC Radio 2. Did order it from the "CDbaby". So hopefully it should be on it´s way over the Atlantic to me here in Gothenburg, Sweden at this moment. Yes! I agree completely with Harry about Glenn and your dad, Jan! A few weeks ago I showed my old dad a photo of your dad and he commented: -"Gee, what a really nice guy that Ray Eberle must have been. Must have been a great family for Jan to grow up in,that Eberle Family."

Heard your new CD on BBC Radio - track Blue Champagne. Very, very nice so went on to your website and listened to the sample tracks.
Ordered CD, just hope it gets here in Dorset UK and looking forward to its arrival through my letter box.
Best wishes Jan.
PS. Great fan of Glen Miller and Dad.

Hi Jan,
Stumbled upon your site. Very nice. You have a wonderful voice! Had wanted to make it to Clarinda this past year to meet you (for the first time), but could not. I had no idea you were singing in the Tri-State area during the 80's! I was working as an art director in nearby Stamford, CT at the time and would have loved to have seen you. Interstingly enough, my Uncle sang many of the same songs as your dad- :-) Ray was a great man, and I understand the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Keep up the fantastic work!
Love, Keith

Am GMBS member. I loved your Dad. Didn't see him in person but did see the GM AF band at the conventions center in Atlantic City in 1944. I have about every song recorded by the Miller Band. Just want to say hello. Stopped by in Carinda one year, drove down the street and stopped a person to ask where the Miller home is. She said "right here". I had stopped right in front of the home. Couldn't believe it. Best to you.
