Glenn Miller will be inducted into the Colorado Music Hall of Fame

When Glenn Miller’s “Chattanooga Choo Choo” — the jaunty big-band number famous for its onomatopoeias — sold more than 1.2 million copies in 1942, his record company, RCA Victor, sprayed a copy gold as a publicity stunt. It was probably the first gold record.

A graduate of Fort Morgan High School who came to Boulder in 1923 as a student at the University of Colorado, Miller by the 1940s was one of America’s most famous performers, and hits like “In the Mood” and “Moonlight Serenade” have ensured the band leader and trombonist a lasting place in the country’s musical culture.

1. Put Your Cell Phone Down

I want you to take the time to truly ask yourself how often you are looking at your phone. For a lot of people, myself included, we’re addicted to our tablets and smartphones.
