Johnny Miller pointed out that k Wilson keeps his right arm tight
against his side all the way in the backswing. He said it was the old
style. Every golf mag and TV show today demos only the complete
opposite. Anyway, I gave it a try and really liked it! What is with
that swing? Were can I learn more about it?

That's a 'symptom' of a one-plane swing.

If you can find a copy, Jimmy Ballard in his "How to Perfect Your Golf
Swing" talks a lot about the "connection" of the upper arms to the
body.
Ballard also has a website with his and other instructors' tips:

A buddy of mine was watching me hit balls on the range. He made a
comment to the pro about my right elbow being in so close to my body.
When I heard him say this, I replied that that is where the elbow
belongs. He looked a bit increduolous, until the pro told him that I
was 100% correct. Of course, my swing can be considered old school, I
guess.

Keeping your right elbow close to you is an easy way to keep the club on a
single plane. It ultimately creates an almost flat swing. If you watch
k's swing you can almost see where the club is going before he actually
swings. It's a pleasure to watch. Most teachers today will not teach a
flat swing, they will teach more of an upright swing. You can see more
swings like k's on the LPGA, than you can on the PGA.
