Funny, in the US you rarely hear a good player just appreciating music as music...over here we approach it in a spirit of art, craft, and competitiveness that draws very bright lines about what's good and bad. For instance, the number of musicians who enjoy dance band music, I could count on one hand.
Yes. But so much of the literature /writers I admire came out of the 30's, the movies I love, technology (the DC3's and Spitfires for ex) medicine, art ( art deco) the cars (1935 Dusenberg, Packards, Cadillacs, Rolls, Pierce-Arrows)& more. The Cunard Liners, P&O. Last days of the Raj & the worlds greatest empire. Yes, the depression, little wars & the rise of the Nazis, Guernica, racism, poverty, & the still serious health problems- TB, polio, typhoid, etc. But the music! S'marvellous!
Panachord - you sure as hell know what you are doing - great job and great stuff - from a 78s collector who ONCE UPON A TIME had about 15000 78s garnered from 30 years of collecting - even a Paramount ! Collection passed on to my son !

Terrific selection, thanks. So much life, charm, sophistication, talent, energy, style - I could go on!
thank you for these grand selections....wonderful tunes and delightful bands and vocalists. sweet way to greet the day.
Just wonderful- from that greatest of all decades.
Thnaks
Wish I owned nearly all of these wonderful records, especially 'How's chances', brilliant.
The arrangement of "How Chances" is perfect and the vocal and musicianship could not be better.
Super excellent with very good interesting photos
Agree with you, ziggy, if you're saying that the 30s are the greatest of all musical decades. Sublime!
Can we have those days back again?
We need a time machine mate..!
Good music good pictures
Wonderful music
Thank you Panachord. It's gfeat job. It's like retrieving history from an upper shelf and giving it a new -- and much deserved -- lease of life.
Fin musik,man blir pigg och glad att höra på musik från förr i tiden.

Good to hear your collection can stay in the family!
John kirkup do you or your son have any duplicate records of bands of the '30s that you would sell to me. ?
Wonderful!
Lovely music and such good sound quality!

🗣 ...super
👍👍👍👍💃💃💃💃
Delightful
Thanks again.
beautiful song
Anyone know where I can find other recordings of "It Happened in the Moonlight"? I love that song.
09:10 About a Quarter to Nine
Makes me think of "Pennies from Heaven"!
You can contest those claims on your vids. I do it all the time and usually get the ads removed.
I think the recording technology took a huge jump from the 1920s to the 1930s.
+Lar M That's when electrical recording was introduced.
+John Leeming Yes indeed. A huge revolution in recording technology. Thanks.
Loved "It Happened In The Moonlight" Have you heard the Jack Jackson version? Any thanks!
Yes, I know that version too...but on CD.
the 30's lives 4ever!

Are you following that horrible series "Dancing on the edge" on the BBC?
I haven't really watched it yet, but the music is totally wrong for London in the early 1930s. More suited to America of the late 1940s/50s.
It reeks of rank commercialism. good trombone break.
Thanks again.
