      1939', the great depression is one of the biggest misconceptions in USA history, in fact a whole multitude of life before is...really what do we and now do we learn in school about 1920 beside a flapper and the model t, 1930 for the great depression and dust bowl, and 1940 for clearly the world war. All I learn from that is that peoples negatives outweigh the positives of the time which were vast and grand. They think life was a dream so much that when any negative aspect enters in, they are left believing it was all a lie and a hopeless time period. Now back to yes the stock shortage so many call the great depression. It was a period of 3 years only believe that or not, 1929 which I will not count as an entire year however I'm sure it felt very long, 1930, 1931, and 1932 were the three hit years, but I'll tell you that we still strived in production, creative automobiles every single year, fashion constantly still changing, a lot of movies and performance shows coming out, architecture and buildings being created. The great depression was an effect, it was not a universal destruction of the time period...if you lived in Manhattan in 1931, you would be waiting in a long line for coffee products or to the grocery store (yes they existed... in fact, my grandmother remembers her first grocery store in 1882 or so). The world they show of this time period is a dull horrible world, some places suffer from the romanticization of it, whilst others suffer the complete opposite- a stark wasteland of horror that they will always present it as, sputtering model ts that can barely grip the road, washed out human beings that resembled zombies", dangerous driving, bizzare slang talk, desolate cities with dirt roads (only idiots should believe that one), racist killers at every turn, horrible sexism, honestly that list is longer than Martin Luther's 95 theses and is 99 percent ineffective and based on stereotypes compared to his theses. People each day are more and more against the 20th century...its hopeless really, 100s of arguments later and I'm no closer to informing anyone than I was in 1970.

      J Powers The secret to long life is genes, yes, but also a good healthy diet (whole-food plant-based is best), reasonable exercise, surround yourself with loved ones, cultivate an attitude of gratitude for all the good things in life, make the best of all situations, including the bad ones (I know - I’ve survived cancer, and would not change a thing if I had my time again), cultivate lots of interests and activities, never stop learning, keep a childlike enthusiasm, be curious about everything, learn to be observant of the wonders of nature, even the tiny things, take time to smell the flowers, read lots, listen to good music, sing, dance, keep a sense of humour and laugh at the ridiculous, see the best in others... Above all, put your faith in Jesus Christ and you will have real joy, and regardless of how long you live on this earth, you will live forever in His presence in heaven.

I don’t really like music from the first half of the 20th century but I can still appreciate for what it is. I just clicked on this video to hear how much music has change in 100 years.

      It's very refreshing to hear music from this period. So many different styles blending together with different aesthetics that later generations built on. The influence of jazz was enormous. Shame the Wall St crash ushered in a huge change and Bing Crosby/ Sinatra saccharine morality took the spoils and the 20s became to be seen as an age of shame.

    Microphones weren't used for recording until 1925. Until then records were recorded acoustically with the singers & bands performing into a horn attached to a recording needle that etched the master from which records were made. Often instruments didn't come across clearly and range was limited, with bass especially problematic. Didn't stifle creativity thought - the music is terrific!

    I was born in the 80s, but because my mother is a pianist and vintage music aficionado, I grew up exposed to the very best of retro songs ranging from the 1920s to the 1960s, especially a lot of Gershwin, Porter, and jazz vocalists like Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday. I actually used to be embarrassed a little growing up in the 90s, an era of pop and boy bands, that so much 'old-timey' music was played in the house but now that I've matured, I find myself listening to THESE kinds of musical genres. I like the 90s music I grew up with hearing on the radio and MTV sometimes, but somehow these classic tunes and ballads from the early 20th century have more staying power with me. I really appreciate now that my ear was tuned in this way!

I love the 20s - the fashions, the architecture, the beginnings of Art Deco, the glamour... It’s great living today, though, because we can enjoy these things from all the previous periods. I also love the big band music of the 1940s, the sort of music to keep people’s morale up in the dark days of WW2. There is a lightness and innocence about the music of the early 20th century which has been lost in our modern times when everything seems to have got so dark and ugly.

      Pax41 Music Time Machine I was born in the early 50s and grew up with the best period of pop music in the 60s. Things went downhill after that. The first half of the 20th century was definitely the best for popular music. My parents were both classical musicians (dad was an amateur) and I grew up with the sound of live chamber music coming up through the floorboards of my bedroom as a child, and I still adore it. I have very eclectic tastes in music - I also enjoy world music and folk. I’m not keen on heavy rock and modern dance music.

  • @larrybrennan1463
    @larrybrennan1463 4 года назад +24

    One thing that gives this music its unique sound is the limitations of the recording system in use then. Drums did not record well until better microphones were developed, so the rhythm line was provided by the tuba and banjos. Notice how cymbals sound like pot lids banged together? It also explains why most men's vocals were by tenors. When better electric microphones were available, baritones became more popular as their range could be recorded properly, and the era of the great baritone crooners, like Crosby, began, and you started getting more emphasis on drummers. Imagine what a band today would sound like if orchestrated like Whiteman's early band, using tubas and banjos, but hardly any percussion.

      The limited use of drums had nothing to do with recording capability. If you study popular music BEFORE recording capabilities, the use of drums was present (barely), and severely limited. The bands of the era were NOT put together for recording, but for LIVE dance music in dance halls. Their income derived from live performances (and a lot of travel from place to place). The tuba-banjo combo evolved to give the tune "swing". Musical "swing" was completely evolved by 1925.
      The tuba-banjo is a slew of musical contrasts for a purpose and effect. Recording is not a factor.
      Tuba - banjo:
      (1) 1-3 to 2-4; the 2-4 (banjo) is slightly delayed for tension, but the tuba (1&3) is "on".
      (2)Monophonic (single note) to polyphonic (i.e: chords of the banjo).
      (3) Low sound (deep) (1&3) to high (2&4).
      (4) Soft sound of tuba to sharp/shrill (attack) of banjo.
      (5) Long note/sound (slow decay of tuba) to short (fast decay of banjo).
      (6) Radically different (also contrasting) undertones of brass-wind vs. the banjo's strings hit with a pick - instead of the original/traditional fingers.
      These juxtapositioned, contrasting each other in the above listed ways in the rhythm section gave the musical(!) "swing" feel, without the drums. Cymbals only...
      The tuba - banjo combo use was for musical(!) reasons, NOT for recording.
      Drums actually (with the guitar) in the 1930s severely muted the musical "swing" feel. (Remember, it's NOT about the dance - that's another subject).
      Per Tex Wyndham - a well known authority on the genre - wrote in his writings, that there have been well known dance-bands in the 20s (i.e: written about at the time), that haven't recorded as far as we know, or in case they did, we have lost all recordings of them.
      There ARE many trad. bands to this day, who eschew the use of drums.
      Famous example: Tuba Skinny band of NOLA, uses only washboard.

It really makes you wonder how much history is lost in a span of a lifetime and how beautiful it is really is that some record remains at all .

      Actually the music before the 1950's was on shellac which is much different from vinyl. The shellac has a much more porous surface and why you get a lot of surface noise. One of the benefits of the vinyl was it had less surface noise on playback. You may have known this Angel but there are many that are not aware of the difference.

      @pax41  3 года назад +5

      If I have a decent copy of a vintage record, especially Columbia's and Victor's, it isn't too hard to get them to sound pretty good. The more the record was played with those old steel needles the more wear and thus surface noise found on many records. British records are another story due to the damp conditions in many homes back then. They have a lot of what collectors call the English Crackle sound. Victor records from the early 1930's had sound almost as good as ones produced in the 1950's. They used high quality ribbon microphones that produced terrific sound. However, the playback equipment wasn't capable yet to reproduce what was being recorded. That would take another 20 years, along with the switch to vinyl instead of shellac.

    • @forthfarean
      @forthfarean 3 года назад +2

      The records would soon get scratched or chipped back then so the surface noise would soon have developed . The old steel needles were supposed to be used once but of course they were used until they were blunted. They were sold in small tins of around 50 . But they were not really that cheap,by the standards of the day. Most young working class people would be earning less than £100 per year, often quite a bit less. So 6D ( 6 old British pennies), I think that was the price of a tin of needles, was quite a lot of money. Woolworths sold covers of the big name record companies for 6D or 9d , “Regal” was one such name, another was “Embassy” . At one time I had several thousand 78 RPM records and 6 players.

      The vocal in this recording seems to be by Vaughn DeLeith, popular recording star of the late 1920s
