Comment:
It's probably a mistake to patronizingly look back on any earlier era as a simpler happier time than ours, & certainly the 1930's in reality were a lot rougher than the 21st century has been so far, BUTthrough the miracle of selective listening we can create for ourselves the same bright peppy poppy happy mood that the dance floor crowd was looking for (& getting!) from the music scene of the day
so, this set is in much the same spirit as my earlier
We've Got to Put the Sun Back in the Sky a.k.a. "It's a Great World After All", which I know a lot of people have enjoyed.
A few of the tracks here that may be less familiar, or are new discoveries for me: #12 Cleo Brown's "When Hollywood Goes Black & Tan" is an infectious fantasy about a day when Hollywood lays off Clark Gable & Jean Harlow to make room for Cab Calloway, Josephine Baker, etc.
#23 "Let's All Sing Like the Birdies Sing" is a mock music hall number with interspersed bogus birdcalls & of course a catchy trilling tune.
Happy days are here again!
Feedback:
If the Boswell Sisters were on every mix, the world would be a better place. This is great.
Truly awesome, and the cover features that lady from "Drawn Together"! I love seeing Fats Waller, The Hoosier Hotshots, and The Boswells make appearrances on mixes. Great stuff, babe.
Lovely, J the Z!
Is that "Birdies" song the same one Disney used? Any version's got to be better than theirs!
How many box-tops in order to get this?

This looks fun.
This is aces, Jeff-O.
boop,boop,be,doop!
quite superb, Jeff. love this type of music with a passion.
As always, full of vivre and joy! I'm glad I didn't have to live through the 30s, but damned glad I get to listen to the Boswells, the Dorseys & Fats!
Great stuff!
Love it!
Dang! Just as soon as we finish a trade, you post this. Oh well, I'll put it on my wish list. I'm one of those who has enjoyed "Sun Back in the Sky." It never fails to bring a smile. And, if they made it through the Depression with these tunes, maybe we can survive W's theocracy......... maybe.
Vivre les annTes trente. Superbe Monsieur Joey.
Makes depression look like fun. Great stuff!
This looks like loads of fun. And you cannot beat that cover. Boop-boop-bee-doop!
Great collection! Even Inka Dinka Doo is here.
I wonder what they will think of the 00's looking back 70 years from now?

More de Vivre magic. Excellent!
'S'what I get for waiting. I'd have expressed similar thoughts akin to Mr. Onn's, and lo-fi's, too. They (the artists represented herein) had the "when life gives you lemons" attitude down! Uplifting. Just as music can be.
This looks incredible.
great as always. on ksan they'd play durantes "start off each day with a song" and in a way, they were the days for seeing the sky's the limit, or something like that!
If you like anything worthy of a trade let me know...this looks absolutely fantastic.
Oh boy, but this looks swell. I love (love, love) the Fats Waller through Ivie Anderson stretch. Damnit...I can't stop smilin'.
