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.

I have CD Jazz hour JH 1028 of Glenn Miller interviewing Ray Eberly and Tex Beneke on June 29 1942. I can make available to you.
I enjoyed your book. Moe Bisson

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.

Hi Jan. Watched a Big Bands special on PBS this weekend. Saw your dad with Tex and the Modernaires. It was great. It blew me away how much your brother looks exactly like Ray.

What a great vocal of Yesterdays Gardenias. No one could do it better. I enjoyed listening to your father grow vocally with the Glenn Miller orch.

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 remember the first recording your father recorded when we came home from the serice. It was on Apollo records "Along With Me" Someone borrowed my copy and never returned it. I do not remember what was on the flip side

I was raised on Glenn Miller music and the beautiful voice of your father, Ray Eberle. My father listened to the music loudly and we all knew the words to every song! Serenade in Blue, the Angels Came Through are favoriites! It's great that you picked up the torch!

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.

Greetings to all and music to all your hearts! I'm very excited about the March show in Bradenton and about my new endeavor! Stay tuned... Love to all! Ray, Jr.

Hi Jan,
I talked with you a little during the Miller Festival in Clarinda a week or so ago. I purchased your CD and you autographed it for me. Thanks. You sing wonderfully and sounded great backed up by the Jack Million Orch.! Your CD is great, too. Best of luck to you and hope to see you again in Clarinda.

I was truly amazed at the Glenn Miller Festival and all the activities. The pace, energy and amount of musical talent displayed was incredable. Hats off to all who performed and those who put this event together. I will not miss Next Year!!!! And Jan what can I say, all that Class, Beauty and Talent in one person, I am a lucky guy.

Jan, I met you in Margraten. You told me that your video of White Cliffs of Dover was on youtube. I can't find it. My Dad is at Margraten. First Class Raymond Williams. I was at the Jack Million concert.

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.
Cheers and love,

I have maintained a lifelong belief that Ray and brother Bob were the best big-band singers among a talent filled group from the late 30's and early 40's.
I still listen and think back when...

Jan,
I listened to your CD 3 times in a row the morning that I first played it. I am about due to pop it in again.
Good luck. I am sure the CD will really help you to present your talent to the world. Also, severe "props" to the band!
See you around

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.
