1920s Music
You can listen to the music of the 1920s and 1930s at Radio Dismuke. Radio Dismuke is like a time machine turning back the clock to an age when high-tech was a thing called radio. For some who remember those pre-TV and internet days, the sounds may bring back melodic memories of another era. To the youth of today, the music may sound downright bizarre, but consider,... the musical taste of each generation is basically programmed from the cradle according to whatever sounds were popular at the time and when intertwined with the happiest memories of youth, that sound generally remains treasured for a lifetime. When you listen to the music of the 1920s, you can hear the energy and optimism of the era. Emerging from 'The Great War' or what we now call World War I, people were ready to be happy again and it's reflected in the music. Listening to the music of the 1920s and 1930s is to listen to music from a time in America's history much like our own - the party hearty jazz age of the 20's followed by the stock market crash and subsequent depression of the 30s. Sounds all too familiar. Even so, it may take time to attune your ears to the music, but anything new is awkward at first. Beyond all the analysis, the music of the 1920s is fun, relaxing and a welcome break from all the stresses of the current age. So give Radio Dismuke a try and listen to the music of the 1920s and 1930s for yourself. They're online and your Time Machine 24 hours a day!
