Bobby's office door was always open. You could come in any time and talk to him. The only problem was that you would have to listen to Glenn Miller or some kind of big-band music.

BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

Quotes about Glenn Miller
We are always changing the show ... We'll find a new tune we love and Mark will ar range it. We're creating a new big- band sound for today and be yond. We didn't want to re-create the sounds of the great Glenn Miller or the great Tommy Dorsey. We're inspired by them, but we wanted to create a new sound for a new day.

There's no romance, no sentimentality, no messages of right and wrong ... I think people of my generation who still open car doors and tip their hats are dying off. I lived the other life. I think that there are young people who are just terrific, but I think it's a struggle for them because of the deterioration of these things.
