The whole video is almost an hour long, but I'm playing Too Little Time at this starting point:

Doug,
Any funny or interesting road stories about this trip? Were period uniforms just for this tour or was it common? You sounded fab.

The "Pinks and Greens" were one of our regular performance uniforms that went with the Glenn Miller repertoire. The Airmen if Note was originally formed as the Air Force's replacement of Glenn Miller's Army-Air Force band, so we did a lot of that music.

Glenn Miller and other big band music was very popular in Japan.

A Japanese film crew followed us everywhere and this film was a TV special in Japan.

I remember you posting this before, but then it got taken down. Is it not copyright protected anymore? Glad to see it again and you sound great!

A long time ago it was up and then down.. I was surprised to see it up again. Oh well...
I used to have it on tape but I think it got lost in our 2005 fire.

It is not available to me either. There are apparently restrictions. Maybe people in USA only.

I still have the window open on my computer and I can still watch it. Is there a convenient way to record from my screen? (Windows 7). I got the audio already.

It's still working for me.

In any case, you can use a YouTube downloader (there's several you can Google) to save the video.

This video has never worked on cell phones for me (in Sweden). Log on via a computer and you should be able to see it.

I've watched it quite a bit through the years. Love the tune and love your playing on it, Doug.

Smooth playing!

For those having trouble opening it, I was not able to open it on my phone (in the US), but it worked fine on my desktop. No clue why, but it's worth trying on a different device.
