Jan Eberle is daughter of Big Band singer Ray Eberle Hi All! [Writes singer Jan Eberle to Glenn Miller Fans Yahoo Group] I am very excited to tell you that "The White Cliffs of Dover" music video that was filmed with the Jack Million Band in Netherlands American Cemetery last month has been released onto www.youtube. com The music is from the new Jack Million Band CD that was also recently released, titled, "In the Mood for Glenn Miller, Vol. 2". On a personal note, guest recording on their album, in particular, White Cliffs, thrills me to be the second generation to do so. As well, filming the video has also given me a stark perspective on how many American soldiers lost their lives in WWII defending that region. It is a simple reminder not to take freedom for granted. I was happy to be a part of the Jack Million Band's tour and admire all of the unselfish efforts made by them to get so many of the soldiers, buried in Margraten, Netherlands, adopted. Enjoy the video and tell 100,000 of your closest friends! Peace. Love, Jan Jan Eberle has recorded as a guest artist with the fabulous Jack Million Band on their newly released album, "In the Mood for Glenn Miller, Vol. 2".
