The Miller orchestra was considered somewhat square in its time. The Benny Goodman band really swung. But Archie and Edith were probably more into dancing when they were young, so preferred bands like Miller and Lombardo.

There's even an episode where Edith wants Archie to dance with her, so she puts on a record of Miller's "Moonlight Serenade."

A pretty tune. Unfortunately, mainstream popular music today includes few, if any pure instrumentals.

A computer is an instrument. :)

A shame what happened to him. To this day, he has never been found. *shivers*
