| Description: | Continuation of interview about the Presidential Suite, Penta Hotel. CU unidentified man, seated, as off-camera interviewer asks him a question about famous guests other than presidents. Answer: "Oh, yes. This hotel is associated with the big bands - the old Cafe Rouge Grand Ballroom in the hotel where Glenn Miller played for many years - he also lived in this hotel... The phone number of the hotel is Pennsylvania 6-5000; it is the longest continually used telephone number in New York, and it goes way back even before the famous Glenn Miller song of the same name." Tells that the band came up with the song as sort of a joke. | |
