Introduction

Students should have read the "Pop Culture Goes to War" under the "Farm Life Section" and Glenn Miller bio found under "A Jeep is a Jeep, right?" in the "Machines Section."

As we visited the Wessels Living History Farm website we found that "jazz was the most popular form of music during the war." One of the most famous musicians from the 1940s was Glenn Miller. Today we're going to explore one of his pieces called "Jeep Jockey Jump."
