Americana: Music of the ’20s and ’30s

Whether for educational study (history/America) or personal enjoyment, you can listen to “Vintage Popular Music and Jazz, 1925-1935,” via the Internet on Radio Dismuke. The owner of the station says:

Discover the exciting music from one of the most vibrant decades in popular culture and entertainment. From the boom times of the “Roaring ’20s” to the hard times of the Great Depression…from frantic Charlestons danced to by a generation of flappers to sentimental ballads performed by the early crooners…from the hot jazz bands of the top Harlem nightclubs to the popular dance bands of the formative years of the swing and big band eras, the great music of the 1920s & 1930s lives on and is entertaining a new generation of enthusiastic listeners. Radio Dismuke features original recordings from the 1925 – 1935 decade and can be heard at no cost from anywhere in the world by anyone with an Internet conection and a sound card equipped computer.

Good stuff. On his Radio Dismuke site and on his blog, Dismuke links to other Internet stations (like the ones I have recently posted about) that play older music. I’ve got Radio Dismuke on right now…
