“I like the more intimate feel of the acoustic instruments,” Glenn said. “I don’t particularly care for the edge of the electric instruments. We get our brightness from the horns. The music is highly melodic. I describe our music as if Roy Rogers had sung with Louis Armstrong.”           

Glenn calls his group’s sound “retro fusion.”

“We like to do tunes everybody knows,” he said. “Then we put our own little touch on them. We do a lot of folk tunes with a jazz sound. We try to do recognizable songs –not the ones that have been beat to death.”

Glenn says he also writes short funny songs for a change of pace during his concerts. The group has been in existence since 1980 using the same format and approach.

“I’ve got some guys who have been with me for years and some just a few months,” Glenn said. “There are usually six guys in the band. It varies from time to time.”
