Tuxedo Junction

We went to see the Glenn Miller Orchestra tonight. The band was great. I should have suspected something about the audience, though, when the tickets misspelled "Glenn." About 90% of the audience was of an age to have possibly seen the Glenn Miller Orchestra when it was led by Glenn Miller, so one would think that they would be able to handle a well-cued sing-along to "Pennsylvania 6-5000." Not so. Apparently, the bulk of the audience forgot the words. That's saying a lot, since there are only four words to "Pennsylvania 6-5000," and they are (get ready) "Pennsylvania six five thousand." Well, there are five words if one counts the final line, which is "Pennsylvania six five oh oh oh." The only song with easier lyrics is "Tequila." Nothing contrasts with the authentic acoustic big band sound like 1,200 people not singing along.
