I'm only in my 40s but I love 30s and 40s music. After work I come home, turn it on and sit in my recliner with my book and my Rum and Coke and listen, I wish there were someone my age to listen with who loathes TV like me. When I do watch its usually dvds of Mash or older TV shows. I feel that I was born in the wrong era.
But had you been born in the 30s or 40s you wouldn't be watching Mash... Revel in the recordings that are available to you. It's a privilege that has not been there for all that long. Music was not improved by electricity. OK, I'll allow you Charlie Christian... I'm pushing 70, btw. Loved Hendrix et al when I was young but have relaxed back into Chill... 🇬🇧👍
No amigo no nasiste en la epoca equibocada porque te gusta esta clase de musica yo nasi en 1966 y desearia aver nasido en los años 30s lo malo que ya no estubiera escribiendo esta opinion
As a post war baby boomer rock and roll was here to stay and this was the music my parents listened to. But now times have changed. Purely American music and proud of it. Greatness!
i didn't start until recently when i started loving older music from the fallout video games, and then suddenly i have been reaching back in time looking for more veriety in older music, lately i have been focusing on anything from the early 1920s through the 1950s era, and it could be stuff like this to classic country, it's been great because sometimes i end up learning the songs, but i love hearing new stuff, i mean new to me but old stuff none the less.
@@5226-p1e same brother i didn't know what i was missing out on after i started playing fallout 3 then 4 i started listening to this music and fell in love because i found it so much better then today's music is just terrible i find
@@seanmulheron4566 that's good to know, i play on PC and i have a enormous playlist that i play on youtube that i have rigged to play while i game, i can play and pause anytime i please while i play, it's not perfect but i found that the longer the playlist the better, i don't like the videos that are a few minute's long because youtube likes to prematurely pause the video while your still listening to it because they think your not listening to it, it's annoying so the only way i have got it to work best is to look for the really long videos that have playlists out there and many exist. oh and if you want to listen to an amazing singer, look up johanny mathis, his voice is pure amazing in the oldies style, i love his stuff actually if you search up his name and put 5 hours you should find a long 5 hour playlist of just his music, it's amazing stuff, and any Doo Wop music is amazing as well, there are so many good songs in these oldies playlists. i also use an adblocker, so no commercials at all, just endless pure amazing music.
i´m 32 years old and i actually collect this kind of music on 78 rpm discs and play them on my acoustic gramophone. need to order another 100 pack of needles!
I too play my "electrically recorded" 1925 and later 78's on my acoustic record player but mine is mid 20's Victor "Orthophonic" Credenza model made to play early electrical records with amazing fidelity! Get hold of one to play your late 20's and all 30's record on. You will get so much more enjoyment out of your records than simply playing them on a pre- 1925 wind up phonograph.
Handy secret from an old disc jockey: As you play them, drizzle rubbing alcohol very lightly right on the record. It fills in the scratches and makes the sound better. The alcohol dries and does not harm the record.
i am 92 years and when I listen this music , I dance. And sometimes with another senior.. i feel great symphony for the youngsters who do not experience the passion of close bodies and love for all. The loss pf music and feeling for another close body is heart breaking. Dance and feel.
Hello Sir. My age is only 69. I enjoy music of your era, as well as other times. A few decades ago, I heard a recording of Fred Astaire singing Irving Berlin's "Cheek to Cheek." Such a good song that reflects your sentiment as well. "Yes, heaven, I'm in heaven; And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak; And I seem to find the happiness I seek, When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek." Here's to you, music, and happy memories.
I’ll be 87 on July 4 and thank the good Lord I don’t dribble my pablum yet and I relive the songs you play each day as I walk to the beach. Thanks for keeping this music alive for all of us to enjoy!
I'm only 66 years. I barely remember this music when it was already old. Still, what a breath of fresh air when compared to the ---- on the radio today.
I asked my late brother that lived with our mum nearly all her life, "Can you remember a time when our mum was not old, fat and grey?" "No" he replied, but dad said that when he first met mum, he could span her waist line with his hands, and her hair was black. I play this as a tribute to all ladies, now passed, that brought up brat kids like me, worked more than 1 job at a time and remained married to one man for life, Sit back mum, relax and enjoy a trip down memory lane Given with love and thanks from dad three sons and one daughter❤️❤️
Greetings everyone! My Dad recorded 100s of cassettes worth of these songs from various radio stations from 1980 - 2010. He played them each and every day for years and years, until his death in 2019 at the age of 100. These songs are more than special to me. Thanks so much for giving all of us out here in UA-cam-land something that connects us all. I'm sure that my Dad would agree and he would say Thank You too!!!! Cheers from Baltimore!!!
Glad your Dad raised you well! I love this music from my Grandfather. I'm 51 and LOVE this music! And my daughter does too and she is 20. It still lives!
I just turned 60. I grew up listening to Metallica, AC/DC and etc but around age 30 I started liking this music. Now it's the only thing I listen to. Amazing music.
I hear you 66 & I listened to YES ELP New Riders & The Dead . Can't listen to it anymore. I turned on to Big band Jazz about 10 years ago & never went back ( well hardly ever)
I’m 65 this year and I love this music and time in history. I listen to KGY am station in Olympia, Washington because they play the music from this era.
I'm a combat aviation veteran who has retired after over 30 years. My grandfather was a huge influence on me listening to music like this. I couldn't enjoy this more. My grandfather was a WWII veteran... this is real music! Jeff here in January 2023. May God bless you all!
Thank you! I'm a youngster of 52...LOL! This music reminds me of the music that my parents and grandparents used to listen to. I always loved it as well. Nice for escaping to a simpler place and time mentally and emotionally. Deeply appreciated.
26 year old from Taiwan here. I grew up listening to the likes of Duke Ellington, Tommy Dorsey, Louis Armstrong, and Fats Waller thanks to my father, who is a jazz pianist. The Roaring 20s and 30s have always fascinated me, and I can't help but think that it's a pity that most of the young folks will never appreciate songs like these. Thanks for the playlist!
Although I'm a Japanese man,ｌlove this kind of sound and songs so much. Sometimes I think my previous life would be an American in this age at Newyork or somewhere and there maybe I'd be a taxi driver or else loves dancing with big band. From TOKYO🍣, Thank you 🌈
@@michaelschabow2911 Thanks for your response！We may have met somewhere sometime in a previous life?? You might have been a passenger in my taxi, or met at a dance hall ?? If there's a next life, Let us meet again !
I'm 75. My dad was a POW in Germany during WWII. If the Russians hadn't liberated the camp, I wouldn't be here! I love the 30's and 40's music for some reason!
Wonderful sounds from the era when America had determination, courage and joy. I've grown up in the television and internet age, having been born in 1952, and our society is much poorer for those inventions. I remember as a young child watching my aunt and her boyfriend leave for an evening of dancing to the big bands in the Detroit area - they would come home after midnight, exhausted and glowing from the pure pleasure of it. How I wish I'd been born 20 years earlier.
I also was born in 1952. It is wonderful to find this music here, I think it's also wonderful to see not everyone from our age group didn't turn into life long hippies lol.. Happy trails to you.
@@johnlennon1049 Yes they were very good too. Don’t forget that Sinatra made his breakthrough with Harry James then Tommy Dorsey before WW2. Some of his best were recorded the . Nat started in the late 30s with his trio.
Oh to be able to turn back time to a time of modesty, morals, and manners. When the simple sight of a young ladies ankles would cause a young mans heart to flutter. When men had great self esteem and self worth and dignity. Even in old photos of the breadlines of the 20s, men still wore a suit, tie, derby, and overcoat. When was last time someone under the age of 30 passing you on the street simply said hello. Don Rickles said it best in the 80s when referring to Don Johnson and the show Miami Vice. "Today people think that wearing a suite jacket with a tee shirt is fashionable, when i was growing up we had another word for it...A BUM! 🙂 Totally enjoyed every selection
Completely agree. David O. ,Johnny Mercer family sanctioned historian for amazing songwriter, lyricist, singer, co-founder of Capitol Records, talent scout, and generous benefactor. Mr. Mercer, was a native son of Savannah, GA where I am very proud also to be from and reside!
Lol. You think that? Sure that’s maybe what the audience were like (maybe), but so you think the musicians who recorded these songs really lived that way? Likely not
Ah yes, I'm 14 and I've listened to enough of the big bands to learn it's either these comments or 60 year olds talking about how they used to listen to this as a kid because of their parents or so.
This music warms my soul,❤ heart and brings a big SMILE upon my face. The words are just wonderful and the sound of the trumpets Saxophone,clarinets drums,piano,etc the vocalists you can understand the words. I never close the radio,I sleep w/ the radio on and my dogs just love it. Music ,Music,Music 24 hrs a day.
@@onetrueslave “That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.”
I grew up n the 1950's listening to my mom's records. I love the music of this time and before, as well as the Beatles. I guess that I'm eclectic, being able to enjoy many styles of music, even classical.
I feel the same way about music. Love all genres, EXCEPT hard rock and heavy metal. I have collected about 2000 vinyl albums from 1959 till present day , everything from progressive jazz to polkas to classical music. I LOVE the sound of VINYL, play them at least once a week. When I sit down to listen, which usually lasts about 6 hours, it is SERIOUS listening. I don't use music as a background distraction to keep me company.
Atwater Kent radios! I'm aware of them and nice to see their advertisement on your cavalcade of magazine covers, of which I can name about half of the stars. I'm 70 but was a disc jockey at a big band radio station in Pittsburgh PA in the early 70's and had knowledge of this music since childhood. Dad sang scat! I love this music going back to the 19 teens. Thanks for posting.
I was a DJ for Armed Forces Radio & Television Network @San Pablo Annex, Seville, Spain 1968-1970! I would sneak in some oldies like these just to "class up" my program!
77 here. I love all the old stuff. They could actually sing, wore the waist band of their trousers around the waist and didn't wear their hats back to front. I'm listening now, doing Laurel and Hardy dances in the kitchen.
Music of my Grandparents ❤ I can listen to it all day and night. Like many say, it's the closest thing we have to time travel. My Grandma will be 103 this year ❤
I'm 62 but I use to enjoy this music at a friend's house with all his family when I was 20, we used to dance this in the summertime. Now I live in Italy in a little village and there's nothing better than having this music at home while Im doing a good pasta for lunchtime! buon appetito a tutti.
50 years ago, when I was a teenager and listening to 1960s rock, I thought this music was hopelessly "square". Fast forward 50 years, and a little maturity -- this stuff is *really delightful*! Thank you for posting it!
I know what you mean and I grew up on the music of the 80's. I find that this music challenges my listening ear more and I am not bored with it. Thank you for watching the channel!
and when this music was popular with the younger generation in the 1930s, their parents and grandparents publicly condemned it as devil music and a few other names that will get my comment banned if I post it here. The New York Times music columnist also slandered it as not worthy of being mentioned in his column because it wasn't really music. The New York Times covered symphonic music exclusively at the time.
I must admit to having the same thoughts. But now as I grow older (gee, I never thought I'd hear myself say that!) I realize just how wonderful this old music is; and I would listen to it with joy. 💝
God bless you Bob! I’m 76 my parents were germans and I was born and live in Brazil and I don’t know why I feel so attracted for this Big Band music from the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s! For over 30 years I own a beautiful 1951 Chevrolet Styleline De Luxe in which I allways play this music. May the good God give you many more years to enjoy life. You are an example for all of us.
I am only in my 20s but I'm so familiar with this music because they play music from this era every Sunday in my town on the radio. The host is like 90+ years old and has been working at the radio station for over 40 years.
I am 54 this is the stuff i heard as a little boy at grandparents house and before school . around WWII VETS !! smoke everywhere and i loved it !! and booze ;)
When music was classy, sentimental, and full of radiance. I was definitely born in the wrong era... Thank you for keeping this as alive as it was almost 90 years ago.
"Last of the Summer Wind" are a ten piece dance band average age 80. We meet once a week to play for our own pleasure with a music library of several hundred dance tunes like this from "back in the day" and love to keep this live music alive.
Two of my uncles were band leaders in those days. My mother's oldest brother Emanuel Starkey conducted the orchestra of the Marble Arch Regal cinema and also conducted the first performance in England of Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. My mother's sister was married to David Java (and his gipsy violins) who had a regular radio programme on the BBC in the afternoons.
It’s nice that there are still people alive who got to listen to this stuff live on the radio when it originally debuted. Maybe one day I’ll be 92 and get to talk about music from the 1990’s. Thank you to all those people old enough to share their experiences with us.
I was born in 51, so this all came before me, but I tuned into this to understand the era. It's all relative you know, primarily sold to younguns with their hopeless romantic ideals, and fixations, with an occasional great mind who enters into it's vacuous void, but that too is to be expected, when you realize that nature abhors a vacuum. Benny Goodman appears something of a phenom when you see what he did with a clarinet, at least it showed up in the movie I saw of him in where he played his instrument on top of a building deep in a summer night. Tonight I'm just a kid living in the 30s, and 40s, and man, I'm digging the wild sounds here. 23 skidoo!
My brother and I grew up listening to all this wonderful 30-40's music on the 5 tube AM radio whilst going off to sleep in 1957. We both ended up being jazz musicians.. the MELODY in these pieces is the magic. You can usually hear them one or two times and whistle the melody. The three parts of music are Rhythm, Harmony and Melody and Melody is King. (Quincy Jones) Always loved to see Kay Kaiser and his "College of Musical Knowledge" in the movies.
The Big Band era was the BEST !!!! I had one in Canada. Then I went to vacation in Florida. Conducted and developed a big band in the closest city to Barefoot Bay, which I recommend to this day, called MELBOURNE, in Fla. (not Aussie). Had a lot of fun, Trump was at one of our concerts, we were paid in T-shirts: "JAZZ" in gold and black. John M. Hill, author.
I love this stuff, even before it was my time..and the coolest thing is if I played it for my teenaged grands they would think it was my own generations music...funny, as if Led Zep, the Beatles, Pink Floyd and Dylan werre what I grew up with. Good music is timeless, one realizes it more as they age. In my dotage I MUST have music, headphones, and my playlist in the nursing home or hospital as I take my last breath.
Thanks for this. I "discovered" big band when I returned home in the'70s and started listening to some of my Father's old 78 rpm records of Miller, Goodman and more and realized this music had something very special--that rock didn't.
18 years old and I can see the huge difference how the music today writes lyrics, play the instruments and how people sing compared to before and I proud to say I'm favoring the older music rather than present. These may be old and many people forget these masterpieces, but I have this saying, "Old is nothing, but Gold".🎺🎹🎷📻🎙🍷🎖
I myself am 50 years old and grew up in the 80's and at that time I only heard music like this when I would watch movies with my grandparents in which was too far and few memories of visiting once a year and now I have such a great appreciation of this music remembering the movies of such simpler times and of love, actual true love portrayed in those movies. Great thanks and love to my grandparents to whom made these memories and love of this music possible.
As a child watching black and white movies on the television, I would hear some of these songs. My parents grew up with these songs, and I, as a child, just glossed over them, more interested in the characters. Now as an old man, I can appreciate what they must have felt.
I was born in 1971,but sometimes listened to this kind of music, tried to play in piano at school, read about how it was founded, so I feel like i live now in America of 40,50s
Who happens saw "Midnight in Paris" will understand my case. All those songs were in the mood about 15/20 years before I was born. And I simply love it all as if I lived those years. It feels like life was much easier in terms of social values, although there were other sort of difficulties. And I strongly feel that spirit in my soul. Greetings from Brasil.
Love this old stuff I'm 61 and this music takes me back to watching my grandfather playing in his band....in the war my grandfather entertained the troops
Remember that when these were being played the world was in a nasty place, with a Depression through the '30s and a world war in the '40s. I think people then were listening to cheerful popular music to lift their spirits. Especially needed then.
@@petertaylor3600 My mother was born in 1930, so I'm well aware of the Depression and the pain then. Mu grandmother saved EVERYTHING even into the 70s. I heard all the stories of blackouts and air raid sirens.
@@MichaelYoder1961 Your grandmother was doing what she'd learned to do in the depression of the 30s. People simply kept being so frugal because it had somehow burned itself into their minds, I think. They kept scrimping all their lives in case there wasanother one, they told me.I was born in 1933, so I'm with your mother.
Funny, think about this, I'd rather listen to 30s and 40's all the time,, course growing up listing to music on the farm coming out of that big radio made of beautiful American craftsmanship ship. Well, I still have both The farm burned down in the earlier 80s 8:33 . As I was told by my favorite uncle, remember the fire can't erase memories. Thank you.

OMG! I can actually understand what they are singing about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL, easy listening. Thank you for posting. Housework goes faster when listening. BTW, tried the kissing game with wife. Fun ensued. Thx KPAX41!
I love the music of this period‼️👍🏼‼️ It reflects the optimism that everyone really needed after the Great Depression at the end of the 1920’s‼️🙏🏼👍🏼💖👍🏼🙏🏼‼️ It has the ability to lift one’s spirits and reminds us that love, romance, and the successful search for companionship and real relationships‼️🙏🏼👍🏼🥲💖🤣👍🏼🙏🏼‼️ As a history educator I try to use the optimism and hope to inspire my students after the last four years of uninspired political leadership where the civilian job opportunities were almost at depression levels‼️🙏🏼🙄😱😵💫🥴😖🙏🏼‼️ Some students were looking at the military, as the only full employment opportunity⁉️🙏🏼🥲🙄😲🥴😖🙏🏼⁉️ With new inspiration, a greater sense of hope that positive music brings, an improved attitude very much like the 1930’s had, pumps a new level of sparkle in their eyes that is truly noticeable‼️🙏🏼👍🏼💖😃😊🤗🤣💖👍🏼🙏🏼‼️ One comment that I’ve heard is, “You can even understand the words they’re singing‼️” I that you for producing such powerful and inspiring collections of real music that still has everything that it did several generations ago‼️🙏🏼👍🏼💖👍🏼🙏🏼‼️
Don't forget that on the heels of the Depression came WW2. Which was the reason the Depression ended. One followed another. So, they listened to this and felt cheered.
Great Music! Thank you for providing the this ongoing website and music as it touches my heart. There is no other music which will ever surpass thie Big Band error in music. I wish we could have it back!
I am 82 years old and I love the olden music even the 1912 to the 1920
i'm a young man of 36 years old and i enjoy this music, most of the time it puts me to sleep, but i still enjoy it.

You were just re-living a past lifetime. I was born in 1947 but I know I was in my 20's in 1928! Go figure! Absolutely love this music!

You’re an old soul like me. I’m 42 and swear I have memories that aren’t mine of the 1930s
Yes! This music, a rum a coke, but I practice waltz and foxtrot and swing... that is of course until the rum and coke swap my feet around... 🤣🤣🤣
Nostalgie... I am 36 Years old, but somehow i feel Nostalgie....
As a post war baby boomer rock and roll was here to stay and this was the music my parents listened to. But now times have changed. Purely American music and proud of it. Greatness!
17 years old teen listening to this old wonderful stuff
i didn't start until recently when i started loving older music from the fallout video games, and then suddenly i have been reaching back in time looking for more veriety in older music, lately i have been focusing on anything from the early 1920s through the 1950s era, and it could be stuff like this to classic country, it's been great because sometimes i end up learning the songs, but i love hearing new stuff, i mean new to me but old stuff none the less.
@@5226-p1e same brother i didn't know what i was missing out on after i started playing fallout 3 then 4 i started listening to this music and fell in love because i found it so much better then today's music is just terrible i find
@@seanmulheron4566
that's good to know, i play on PC and i have a enormous playlist that i play on youtube that i have rigged to play while i game, i can play and pause anytime i please while i play, it's not perfect but i found that the longer the playlist the better, i don't like the videos that are a few minute's long because youtube likes to prematurely pause the video while your still listening to it because they think your not listening to it, it's annoying so the only way i have got it to work best is to look for the really long videos that have playlists out there and many exist.
oh and if you want to listen to an amazing singer, look up johanny mathis, his voice is pure amazing in the oldies style, i love his stuff actually if you search up his name and put 5 hours you should find a long 5 hour playlist of just his music, it's amazing stuff, and any Doo Wop music is amazing as well, there are so many good songs in these oldies playlists.
i also use an adblocker, so no commercials at all, just endless pure amazing music.
i´m 32 years old and i actually collect this kind of music on 78 rpm discs and play them on my acoustic gramophone. need to order another 100 pack of needles!
I too play my "electrically recorded" 1925 and later 78's on my acoustic record player but mine is mid 20's Victor "Orthophonic" Credenza model made to play early electrical records with amazing fidelity! Get hold of one to play your late 20's and all 30's record on. You will get so much more enjoyment out of your records than simply playing them on a pre- 1925 wind up phonograph.
Handy secret from an old disc jockey: As you play them, drizzle rubbing alcohol very lightly right on the record. It fills in the scratches and makes the sound better. The alcohol dries and does not harm the record.
Wowwwww I'm retired 61 y.o.these are the music of my grandmother grandfather..heard these music playing on a Grama phone
i am 92 years and when I listen this music , I dance. And sometimes with another senior.. i feel great symphony for the youngsters who do not experience the passion of close bodies and love for all. The loss pf music and feeling for another close body is heart breaking. Dance and feel.
God bless you bob and give you many more years to live
God grant you many more years
Hello Sir. My age is only 69. I enjoy music of your era, as well as other times. A few decades ago, I heard a recording of Fred Astaire singing Irving Berlin's "Cheek to Cheek." Such a good song that reflects your sentiment as well. "Yes, heaven, I'm in heaven; And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak; And I seem to find the happiness I seek, When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek." Here's to you, music, and happy memories.
Beautiful, thank you. You're a thing of beauty and a joy forever.
Wow. God bless you edd!
I’ll be 87 on July 4 and thank the good Lord I don’t dribble my pablum yet and I relive the songs you play each day as I walk to the beach. Thanks for keeping this music alive for all of us to enjoy!
Congratulations, Bob! hope you have a wonderful birthday!
Happy Early Birthday Bob!
Belated happy birthday sir, hope you are doing good.
I m 50 and I also love this music, hope you can walk to the beach for many more yrs Bob.
Many thanks for this, Bob. I'll be 89 in less than two months. Think of this as happy music and do so with many memories. Play it every morning
I'm a grand and want this music shared to the WORLD in 2023 Can't let it die
Да, ребята,- это настоящая музыка! Красивая, жизнерадостная...👏👍
I'm only 66 years. I barely remember this music when it was already old. Still, what a breath of fresh air when compared to the ---- on the radio today.
I asked my late brother that lived with our mum nearly all her life, "Can you remember a time when our mum was not old, fat and grey?" "No" he replied, but dad said that when he first met mum, he could span her waist line with his hands, and her hair was black. I play this as a tribute to all ladies, now passed, that brought up brat kids like me, worked more than 1 job at a time and remained married to one man for life, Sit back mum, relax and enjoy a trip down memory lane Given with love and thanks from dad three sons and one daughter❤️❤️
😢
Greetings everyone! My Dad recorded 100s of cassettes worth of these songs from various radio stations from 1980 - 2010. He played them each and every day for years and years, until his death in 2019 at the age of 100. These songs are more than special to me. Thanks so much for giving all of us out here in UA-cam-land something that connects us all. I'm sure that my Dad would agree and he would say Thank You too!!!! Cheers from Baltimore!!!
You bet!
❤😊🙏❤️
BRAVO to your dad!
Wow ! how wonderful ! my dad was a rear gunner in the war
Glad your Dad raised you well! I love this music from my Grandfather. I'm 51 and LOVE this music! And my daughter does too and she is 20. It still lives!
I’m 57 and love this music
I just turned 60. I grew up listening to Metallica, AC/DC and etc but around age 30 I started liking this music. Now it's the only thing I listen to. Amazing music.
I hear you 66 & I listened to YES ELP New Riders & The Dead . Can't listen to it anymore. I turned on to Big band Jazz about 10 years ago & never went back ( well hardly ever)
Me too!
Same here. Sure, the music from our younger days had energy, but it didn't have much substance.
I’m 65 this year and I love this music and time in history. I listen to KGY am station in Olympia, Washington because they play the music from this era.
I'm a combat aviation veteran who has retired after over 30 years. My grandfather was a huge influence on me listening to music like this. I couldn't enjoy this more. My grandfather was a WWII veteran... this is real music! Jeff here in January 2023. May God bless you all!
❤
Much respect and gratitude, kingjackupeace5844!
Goodtimes!
I'm only 63 and this music really sends me! I love it!
The music is delightful. Makes me wish our society could revert to such innocent times. Thank you.
M
LOL! True! @tr7938
Hardly innocent times. The 1930s & 1940s saw all sorts of horrible stuff going on around the world. But at least the music was good.
Mkes me nostalgic for an era I wasn't born in ^_^
Thank you! I'm a youngster of 52...LOL! This music reminds me of the music that my parents and grandparents used to listen to. I always loved it as well. Nice for escaping to a simpler place and time mentally and emotionally. Deeply appreciated.
You lived before in that time period.
26 year old from Taiwan here. I grew up listening to the likes of Duke Ellington, Tommy Dorsey, Louis Armstrong, and Fats Waller thanks to my father, who is a jazz pianist. The Roaring 20s and 30s have always fascinated me, and I can't help but think that it's a pity that most of the young folks will never appreciate songs like these. Thanks for the playlist!
Agreed about the young folks not knowing these songs, sad.
👏👏👏
Although I'm a Japanese man,ｌlove this kind of sound and songs so much. Sometimes I think my previous life would be
an American in this age at Newyork or somewhere and there maybe I'd be a taxi driver or else loves dancing with big band.

I am 62 years old......but I must admit this the MOST beautiful music ever heard. .my Father served in wwii
I'm 70 - and I love them too!
I'm 75. My dad was a POW in Germany during WWII. If the Russians hadn't liberated the camp, I wouldn't be here! I love the 30's and 40's music for some reason!
Wonderful sounds from the era when America had determination, courage and joy. I've grown up in the television and internet age, having been born in 1952, and our society is much poorer for those inventions. I remember as a young child watching my aunt and her boyfriend leave for an evening of dancing to the big bands in the Detroit area - they would come home after midnight, exhausted and glowing from the pure pleasure of it. How I wish I'd been born 20 years earlier.
I also was born in 1952. It is wonderful to find this music here, I think it's also wonderful to see not everyone from our age group didn't turn into life long hippies lol.. Happy trails to you.
I'm 75 and love the music of the 30's + 40's. PS: Not all us hippies were lost! @@LoveIsBeautiful1910
I'm 72 years old. This music is a bit older then what I grew up with but I love it!
I am 76 . This music was still played on the radio in my childhood.
It's okay. I always thought your music was good also(not as great as Paul's, I'm sure you understand, but yeah).
@@forthfarean you’re right but I didn’t listen to it. Mom played Sinatra, Nat king Cole. That’s what she listened to and I did too.
@@austinaronis2216 yeah, you’re right. I was more the obnoxious fellow…
@@johnlennon1049 Yes they were very good too. Don’t forget that Sinatra made his breakthrough with Harry James then Tommy Dorsey before WW2. Some of his best were recorded the . Nat started in the late 30s with his trio.
Lovely music! When this country was on top of the world.
im 24 this is beautiful af ive always loved getting stoned to 1920s-50s music its so beautiful
Oh to be able to turn back time to a time of modesty, morals, and manners. When the simple sight of a young ladies ankles would cause a young mans heart to flutter. When men had great self esteem and self worth and dignity. Even in old photos of the breadlines of the 20s, men still wore a suit, tie, derby, and overcoat. When was last time someone under the age of 30 passing you on the street simply said hello. Don Rickles said it best in the 80s when referring to Don Johnson and the show Miami Vice. "Today people think that wearing a suite jacket with a tee shirt is fashionable, when i was growing up we had another word for it...A BUM! 🙂 Totally enjoyed every selection
Completely agree. David O. ,Johnny Mercer family sanctioned historian for amazing songwriter, lyricist, singer, co-founder of Capitol Records, talent scout, and generous benefactor. Mr. Mercer, was a native son of Savannah, GA where I am very proud also to be from and reside!
Слушая эту музыку, эти песни, ощущаешь тепло, согревающее душу, вдыхаешь воздух тех живых времён!
С лучшими пожеланиями, всем добрым - добра!
Lol. You think that? Sure that’s maybe what the audience were like (maybe), but so you think the musicians who recorded these songs really lived that way? Likely not
I'm 62 and for some strange reason,I felt like I lived in that era? Love the music of the 30's and 40's... it's devine! and what a gas!
the magazine covers too are so precious. wonderful wonderful music
I LOVE THE BIG BANDS AND THE BIG BAND SOUND!!.........THOSE WERE THE DAYS OF ROMANCE AND ROMANTIC SONGS!!
im 15, and I love hearing this and it's not just music.. it's art what a nostalgia
You said it brother
Ah yes, I'm 14 and I've listened to enough of the big bands to learn it's either these comments or 60 year olds talking about how they used to listen to this as a kid because of their parents or so.
I love benny goodman and his band it takes me back to the 1930's and 1940's. it's music you can dance to
Thank God we can still hear & enjoy this period of music
Perhaps you should just thank youtube channels like KPAX41? But, that's me.

brings a big SMILE

I play this music for my elderly people and they love it.
I grew up n the 1950's listening to my mom's records. I love the music of this time and before, as well as the Beatles. I guess that I'm eclectic, being able to enjoy many styles of music, even classical.
Same here 😄
And why not? Who says you can only like one style of music?
me too.
Amazing!!!!!!!!❤️
I feel the same way about music. Love all genres, EXCEPT hard rock and heavy metal. I have collected about 2000 vinyl albums from 1959 till present day , everything from progressive jazz to polkas to classical music. I LOVE the sound of VINYL, play them at least once a week. When I sit down to listen, which usually lasts about 6 hours, it is SERIOUS listening. I don't use music as a background distraction to keep me company.
84 years old, professional musician, love this old music.
I miss mom and dad my angels however I am sure they loved this music found a lot of their treasures
Atwater Kent radios! I'm aware of them and nice to see their advertisement on your cavalcade of magazine covers, of which I can name about half of the stars. I'm 70 but was a disc jockey at a big band radio station in Pittsburgh PA in the early 70's and had knowledge of this music since childhood. Dad sang scat! I love this music going back to the 19 teens. Thanks for posting.
I was a DJ for Armed Forces Radio & Television Network @San Pablo Annex, Seville, Spain 1968-1970! I would sneak in some oldies like these just to "class up" my program!
That was the time of real music, tears in my eyes, This is a golden channel, thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!
77 here. I love all the old stuff. They could actually sing, wore the waist band of their trousers around the waist and didn't wear their hats back to front. I'm listening now, doing Laurel and Hardy dances in the kitchen.
Music of my Grandparents ❤ I can listen to it all day and night. Like many say, it's the closest thing we have to time travel. My Grandma will be 103 this year ❤
I'm 62 but I use to enjoy this music at a friend's house with all his family when I was 20, we used to dance this in the summertime. Now I live in Italy in a little village and there's nothing better than having this music at home while Im doing a good pasta for lunchtime! buon appetito a tutti.
Mi invita? Io mi diverto a cantare e a suonare il basso con questi "oldies"
May all of us who love beauty, sincere love and good music live for many more years!
Cheers!!!
Amen to that!
Thank you for posting this little played but fabulous music
50 years ago, when I was a teenager and listening to 1960s rock, I thought this music was hopelessly "square".
Fast forward 50 years, and a little maturity -- this stuff is *really delightful*! Thank you for posting it!
I know what you mean and I grew up on the music of the 80's. I find that this music challenges my listening ear more and I am not bored with it. Thank you for watching the channel!
escape from caos
Well, to a teen ear it's really naff. You need the maturity to appreciate it, which you did. Me too.
and when this music was popular with the younger generation in the 1930s, their parents and grandparents publicly condemned it as devil music and a few other names that will get my comment banned if I post it here. The New York Times music columnist also slandered it as not worthy of being mentioned in his column because it wasn't really music. The New York Times covered symphonic music exclusively at the time.
I must admit to having the same thoughts. But now as I grow older (gee, I never thought I'd hear myself say that!) I realize just how wonderful this old music is; and I would listen to it with joy. 💝
God bless you Bob! I’m 76 my parents were germans and I was born and live in Brazil and I don’t know why I feel so attracted for this Big Band music from the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s!
For over 30 years I own a beautiful 1951 Chevrolet Styleline De Luxe in which I allways play this music.
May the good God give you many more years to enjoy life. You are an example for all of us.
I'm a pro metal drummer when I'm not on stage I listen to this type of music it's good for the soul and very relaxing
shut up
Yes you're wright!
Increíble!!!! Pienso lo mismo,soy baterista profesional hace muchos años!!!!🥁💪💯
Makes me think of my grandparents. They grew up during the 30s. Nostalgia for a time I never knew!
I miss that Greatest Gen. Their graves line the story of my life.
Sublime...so sweet and a 'cure' to modern day 'blues', thank you
I am only in my 20s but I'm so familiar with this music because they play music from this era every Sunday in my town on the radio. The host is like 90+ years old and has been working at the radio station for over 40 years.
I am 54 this is the stuff i heard as a little boy at grandparents house and before school . around WWII VETS !! smoke everywhere and i loved it !! and booze ;)
When music was classy, sentimental, and full of radiance. I was definitely born in the wrong era... Thank you for keeping this as alive as it was almost 90 years ago.
You can't exist without pleasure, even for a second, and it's hard to have sorrow for a long time. Such is existence 💃
I normally music ended around 1950. I loved the Disco, New Wave and Punk movements because it was dance music for me, but this is the music I love. .
🗼⚓
"Last of the Summer Wind" are a ten piece dance band average age 80. We meet once a week to play for our own pleasure with a music library of several hundred dance tunes like this from "back in the day" and love to keep this live music alive.
Two of my uncles were band leaders in those days. My mother's oldest brother Emanuel Starkey conducted the orchestra of the Marble Arch Regal cinema and also conducted the first performance in England of Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. My mother's sister was married to David Java (and his gipsy violins) who had a regular radio programme on the BBC in the afternoons.
Thanks for sharing! Always loved Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue !
One of my Great Uncles was a band leader to Eddie Odell , Only met him once
Don't tell me your cousin ended up on the seat behind the drums that was behind, Paul, John and George?
Love me some good ol classic *TOM & JERRY*
Though I am not from this period, when I hear this music tears come to my eyes. I wish music sounded like this today! -Vince Vance, composer
The music of the great dance band era of 1925-60 remains (for me) the time that produced the best pop music ever.
old time for bring back beautiful memories , thank you
I had this in the background for 35 minutes without realising.
It’s nice that there are still people alive who got to listen to this stuff live on the radio when it originally debuted. Maybe one day I’ll be 92 and get to talk about music from the 1990’s. Thank you to all those people old enough to share their experiences with us.
I was born in 51, so this all came before me, but I tuned into this to understand the era. It's all relative you know, primarily sold to younguns with their hopeless romantic ideals, and fixations, with an occasional great mind who enters into it's vacuous void, but that too is to be expected, when you realize that nature abhors a vacuum. Benny Goodman appears something of a phenom when you see what he did with a clarinet, at least it showed up in the movie I saw of him in where he played his instrument on top of a building deep in a summer night. Tonight I'm just a kid living in the 30s, and 40s, and man, I'm digging the wild sounds here. 23 skidoo!
My brother and I grew up listening to all this wonderful 30-40's music on the 5 tube AM radio whilst going off to sleep in 1957. We both ended up being jazz musicians.. the MELODY in these pieces is the magic. You can usually hear them one or two times and whistle the melody. The three parts of music are Rhythm, Harmony and Melody and Melody is King. (Quincy Jones) Always loved to see Kay Kaiser and his "College of Musical Knowledge" in the movies.
Melody IS King, a reminder that most music is fun to sing.
😊q❤❤@❤❤@11❤ and
My Nan was a big fan of old movies and here I am 19, 8 years listening to this stuff. 😭 my friends have started calling me Mozart or gramps too
The Big Band era was the BEST !!!! I had one in Canada. Then I went to vacation in Florida. Conducted and developed a big band in the closest city to Barefoot Bay, which I recommend to this day, called MELBOURNE, in Fla. (not Aussie). Had a lot of fun, Trump was at one of our concerts, we were paid in T-shirts: "JAZZ" in gold and black. John M. Hill, author.
Thanks for the likes, do you remember it? Let's hear from the musicians? John M. Hill, now back in Canada, and OLD! JMH
Thank you for this fabulous music! I am a very nostalgic person, it helps to keep me sane in our world gone mad! xxxx
Amen and amen.
true people make up this world and alot are not very kind
I love this stuff, even before it was my time..and the coolest thing is if I played it for my teenaged grands they would think it was my own generations music...funny, as if Led Zep, the Beatles, Pink Floyd and Dylan werre what I grew up with. Good music is timeless, one realizes it more as they age. In my dotage I MUST have music, headphones, and my playlist in the nursing home or hospital as I take my last breath.
Thanks for this. I "discovered" big band when I returned home in the'70s and started listening to some of my Father's old 78 rpm records of Miller, Goodman and more and realized this music had something very special--that rock didn't.
18 years old and I can see the huge difference how the music today writes lyrics, play the instruments and how people sing compared to before and I proud to say I'm favoring the older music rather than present. These may be old and many people forget these masterpieces, but I have this saying, "Old is nothing, but Gold".🎺🎹🎷📻🎙🍷🎖
I myself am 50 years old and grew up in the 80's and at that time I only heard music like this when I would watch movies with my grandparents in which was too far and few memories of visiting once a year and now I have such a great appreciation of this music remembering the movies of such simpler times and of love, actual true love portrayed in those movies. Great thanks and love to my grandparents to whom made these memories and love of this music possible.
As a child watching black and white movies on the television, I would hear some of these songs. My parents grew up with these songs, and I, as a child, just glossed over them, more interested in the characters. Now as an old man, I can appreciate what they must have felt.
Your sentiments are mine too. I envision my parents in love and dancing on Mount Beacon and marrying in 1936.
hearing this music is so calming and I enjoy this era very much. even though i'm only 16, i truly wish i could be born in this amazing era of music.
There’s something very grounding about music from this era.
I was born in 1971,but sometimes listened to this kind of music, tried to play in piano at school, read about how it was founded, so I feel like i live now in America of 40,50s
Who happens saw "Midnight in Paris" will understand my case.
All those songs were in the mood about 15/20 years before I was born.
And I simply love it all as if I lived those years. It feels like life was much easier in terms of social values, although there were other sort of difficulties.
And I strongly feel that spirit in my soul.
Greetings from Brasil.
I'm 26 y/o and I like this music just because I do, no other reason 😊
You lived before in that time period. it's all too familiar, right?
Thank you for the music. And without publicity !!
This is my Moms era of music. She has passed so THANK YOU for bringing back the memories!
I just love your music channel, my friend. It helps me get through the day.
Love this old stuff I'm 61 and this music takes me back to watching my grandfather playing in his band....in the war my grandfather entertained the troops
All these playlists are great! I can put it on and do chores and bake and let the nastiness of the world slip away for a while. Thanks!
Remember that when these were being played the world was in a nasty place, with a Depression through the '30s and a world war in the '40s. I think people then were listening to cheerful popular music to lift their spirits. Especially needed then.
@@petertaylor3600 My mother was born in 1930, so I'm well aware of the Depression and the pain then. Mu grandmother saved EVERYTHING even into the 70s. I heard all the stories of blackouts and air raid sirens.
@@MichaelYoder1961 Your grandmother was doing what she'd learned to do in the depression of the 30s. People simply kept being so frugal because it had somehow burned itself into their minds, I think. They kept scrimping all their lives in case there wasanother one, they told me.I was born in 1933, so I'm with your mother.
My granpa born 1899. This music listened for him. Great music.
Thank you for making this great music available.
Funny, think about this, I'd rather listen to 30s and 40's all the time,, course growing up listing to music on the farm coming out of that big radio made of beautiful American craftsmanship ship.
Well, I still have both
The farm burned down in the earlier 80s 8:33 .
As I was told by my favorite uncle, remember the fire can't erase memories.
Thank you.

Music and words!
@@oller7113 My question exactly... Music & Words?.. (Had I just scrolled down one more)...
What a nice work, Henri de Lagardère! You must have worked for hours in order to give us this magnificent list! Merci beaucoup! Edgar from "La Suisse"😀
thanks for the info which very useful!
My Grandfather used to listen to music like this , brings back Great memories 👍🤠😸
OMG! I can actually understand what they are singing about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL, easy listening. Thank you for posting. Housework goes faster when listening. BTW, tried the kissing game with wife. Fun ensued. Thx KPAX41!
The very best music, and lovely sound, i'm french and i like this, from france, Lyon exactely, best wishes!
I love the music of this period‼️👍🏼‼️ It reflects the optimism that everyone really needed after the Great Depression at the end of the 1920’s‼️🙏🏼👍🏼💖👍🏼🙏🏼‼️ It has the ability to lift one’s spirits and reminds us that love, romance, and the successful search for companionship and real relationships‼️🙏🏼👍🏼🥲💖🤣👍🏼🙏🏼‼️ As a history educator I try to use the optimism and hope to inspire my students after the last four years of uninspired political leadership where the civilian job opportunities were almost at depression levels‼️🙏🏼🙄😱😵💫🥴😖🙏🏼‼️ Some students were looking at the military, as the only full employment opportunity⁉️🙏🏼🥲🙄😲🥴😖🙏🏼⁉️ With new inspiration, a greater sense of hope that positive music brings, an improved attitude very much like the 1930’s had, pumps a new level of sparkle in their eyes that is truly noticeable‼️🙏🏼👍🏼💖😃😊🤗🤣💖👍🏼🙏🏼‼️ One comment that I’ve heard is, “You can even understand the words they’re singing‼️” I that you for producing such powerful and inspiring collections of real music that still has everything that it did several generations ago‼️🙏🏼👍🏼💖👍🏼🙏🏼‼️
Don't forget that on the heels of the Depression came WW2. Which was the reason the Depression ended. One followed another. So, they listened to this and felt cheered.
This era of music ALWAYS makes me think of Laurel and Hardy because it was the first time i ever heard this style of music.
I can't even find many of these on Spotify or anywhere else. Thank you so much for documenting, posting, and sharing your music!
These songs have a magical quality.
Many thanks for this and all good wishes to our common listeners: be well!
Great Music! Thank you for providing the this ongoing website and music as it touches my heart. There is no other music which will ever surpass thie Big Band error in music. I wish we could have it back!
