So was here at Skipper Canteen last week, and I've been able to confirm the full loop of songs. It runs two hours long, and trims out the vocals on The Continental and I Guess I'll Have to Dream the Rest to make them purely instrumentals. Interestingly too, there are also two different full orchestra instrumentals of Moon Glow, one by Artie Shaw and the other by Benny Goodman - the Benny Goodman version of Moon Glow is a more obscure full orchestra version, and not the more popular and famous version of his by his quartet, which you can hear in the Disneyland (and now Walt Disney World) Jungle Cruise queue. Originally the song Boogie Woogie has been identified as Jay McShann Trio, but hearing it, it without a doubt is Tommy Dorsey's popular full orchestra cover.

There have been several covers of Honeysuckle Rose by Fats Waller - the one used in this list is an instrumental that starts off with a trumpet and a saxophone. The last song in the list "Little Brown Jug" is a bit of an oddity to me - it's obviously based on the original Glenn Miller recording, but most definitely it's not the original, as the opening rhythm section and saxes sound a few tones lower. SoundHound went back and forth identifying it as Max Greger from his "Max Greger Plays Glenn Miller" album, and as a version by the Glenn Miller Orchestra. It definitely is a slightly more modern sounding recording than the original Miller version, so for now, I'm going to chalk it up as the Max Greger version.

Just an edit to this loop - the last track Little Brown Jug is neither the Max Greger nor the original Glenn Miller version. I've been able to verify it is a stereo version recorded by "Members of the Glenn Miller Orchestra" sometime in the 50s to 60s. You can find this version on the album "Big Band & Swing Jazz Signature Series: Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, Count Basie."

Paul or DizBand, did either of you make a reference recording? I'd like to add this to the Playlists Manager, but am reluctant to do so without having track times and the ability to narrow down source albums. Stuck without an AP until Disney decides to begin selling them again, I may not be able to get over to the Tragic Kingdom to confirm anytime soon.
