WI Glen Miller doesn't disappear over the English Channel?

If he lived on into the '50s, how would the popularity of big band be different from OTL? I'm guessing his survival wouldn't be enough to guarantee that big band would maintain an edge over rock and roll in terms of popularity, but can anyone more knowledgeable about the era confirm this?
 
Rock n' Roll was the music the kids listed to. The big bands were the music their parents listened to. Glenn Miller's survival will not change that.
 
My father doesn't get posted as commander of the band and spend a couple of months trying to understand what the musicians are saying before he manages to get rotated home and mustered out. Apparently dad wasn't very hep.
