Music of 1926-Who

[karl]

A bit of music to lift the spirits from a darkness of concerns of the woos of the world. A little time to escape from reality.

There are words to this piece that are very dear clearly sang by the two Brits: Ms. Binnie Hill and Mr. Jack Buchanon. I do not have their rendition at this time, although I do have it at my flat and play at times of my own personal darkness..

Thank you J.J., Mr. Buchanon has that deep voice that simply residence in what ever song is his to sing. He has several other pieces but I do enjoy this one best. It brings out the simple measures of the heart which my self seems to have too much for my own good.

The "Roaring Twenties" folks. The time of the Ford Model A, the Citroën B2, the Citroën C 5CV, the Mercedes 15/70/100 PS, the Mercedes 24/100/140 PS, BMW Dixi, the Charleston (dance), Berlin Cabaret, Ufa Film, German Expressionism (which reached a peak in Berlin during the 1920s), the "Jazz Age", while in Europe the period is sometimes referred to as the "Golden Age Twenties" because of the economic boom following World War I.

French speakers refer to the period as the "Années folles" ("Crazy Years"), emphasizing the era's social, artistic, and cultural dynamism.

The economic prosperity experienced by many countries during the 1920s (especially the United States) was similar in nature to that experienced in the 1950s and 1990s. Each period of prosperity was the result of a paradigm shift in global affairs. These shifts in the 1920s, 1950s, and 1990s, occurred in part as the result of the conclusion of World War I and Spanish flu, World War II, and the Cold War, respectively.

The 1920s saw foreign oil companies begin operations throughout South America. Venezuela became the world's second largest oil producing nation.

In some countries the 1920s saw the rise of radical political movements, especially in regions that were once part of empires. Communism spread as a consequence of the October Revolution and the Bolsheviks' victory in the Russian Civil War. Fear of the spread of Communism led to the emergence of far right political movements and fascism in Europe. Economic problems contributed to the emergence of dictators in Eastern Europe and the Balkans, to include Józef Piłsudski in the Second Polish Republic, and Peter and Alexander Karađorđević in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.

The devastating Wall Street Crash in October 1929 is generally viewed as a harbinger of the end of 1920s prosperity in North America and Europe.

The 1920s is the decade in which fashion entered the modern era. It was the decade in which women first abandoned the more restricting fashions of past years and began to wear more comfortable clothes (such as short skirts or trousers). Men also abandoned highly formal daily attire and even began to wear athletic clothing for the first time. The suits men wear today are still based, for the most part, on those worn in the late 1920s. The 1920s are characterized by two distinct periods of fashion. In the early part of the decade, change was slow, as many were reluctant to adopt new styles. From 1925, the public passionately embraced the styles associated with the Roaring Twenties. These styles continue to characterize fashion until the worldwide depression worsened in 1931.

The Twenties were the "The Jazz Age"—jazz and jazz-influenced dance music became widely popular throughout the decade. George Gershwin wrote Rhapsody in Blue and An American in Paris. Eddie Lang and Joe Venuti were the first musicians to incorporate the guitar and violin into jazz.
