OLD IS GOLD .

Reading the comments, the common theme is "why do I like this music so much". I think it's due to the simplicity of it. It was also written during a time when the concerns of the day weren't as grave as they are today.

Whenever I listen to this kind of music or live band jazz/blues/swing I have this urge to start dancing lol

WHY DO WE ALL LOVE *THIS* KIND OF MUSIC??? a) Reincarnation b) Time-Travellers c) distinguished gusto as a Musician and Singer I would say: *passion to learn your instrument *strive for perfection *social engagement to harmonize THESE ARE ALL very old nearly forgotten virtues in an ellbow-world... and we know about history, too... it is the pulse of every artist's heart-beat who puts his personal devotion into every song we can hear until today and as monstrous this world may be there will always be some creatives who can sooth & safe our souls THANK YOU, BOB FOR SHARING YOUR TREASURES 💞 TO ME THIS IS THERAPY IN A MAD & CRAZY WORLD 🌍

I was born in the wrong song, I love these kind of generations

I feel like my past soul lived in the 1930s because I'm in love with this music.

My grand father was in love with this music and he showed it to me when I was a little child. He was borned in 1915 and he always told me stories about this era. He died in 2015 at 100 years old. I miss you, my dear Tata! I'll see you again, later or sooner.

I'm a child who has travelled from far into the future and I love this kind of music

I'm actually glad I was born in the late 70's because I got to be a kid in the 80's which was so much fun, but I'm so grateful that we have all this wonderful music to listen to now.

Guys i'm 2 years old and i love this music!!1!!1! But seriously, no one cares how old you are. Just enjoy the music...

Im 48 and this brings me joy

I lived my younger ages frpm 40s till 5s at the moment have 82y and music like this never will be play again,

I'm still in my mother's womb and I love this kind of music

I'm Japanese 18 years old boy and I really love this music. I often listen before going to sleep. Thank you for posting!!

i started at 2010 hits, went through 2000 .> 90 > 80 > 70 > 60> 50 > 40 -> and now im here. I keep going wish me luck!

I actually just realised why I love 30s' music so much- it's because it reminds me of my favourite cartoon ever that I used to watch as a child- Tom and Jerry. Gosh, didn't realise this show is so old :'D

i think i was born in the wrong era i want to climb aboard my time machine and travel back to this great era

1920s through the 40s music will always have a place in my heart... love it!

I should've been born in 1894, fighted the Great War, survived and lived my youth days to these rythms.

I was born in 74; and love most music recorded before 1945. I'm not exactly sure why; so I'm just going to file that under Reincarnation :)

This music reminds me of my grandparents that used to tell me stories about the Depression era. Listening to the radio or records was a new thing and this is what so many people used to find a bit of solace or escape from life.

I'm 81 and still enjoy this style of music, much better than some stuff we hear today!

i',m 18 and i love this music, not because i hate my generation but just because i enjoy the music, as it was intended to be. Don't really wish i was born in a different generation because now we can listen to the old stuff as well as some newer stuff if you're in the mood for something different

I've always been fascinated by this era, especially the music and fashion!

am I the only one who's 12 and absolutely love this kind of music?

my father was born in 1913 in Pisagua, Chile... I remember that he used to play this songs in his phonograph in 1959, that year I was born... he got me when he was very old.. but my mother was a teenager ... I always love thoses songs... Thanks my friends!!!

Dwight Iliff Frye sent me here ♥ 1899-1943

i'm born on 2000, but i alwys love and addict with music classic. High class

Born in 1980 and I love this music.

Makes me want to live in a black and white world.

I love this music! It helps me relaxe, and unwind. Thank you so much!! ~Janet in Canada

I just love your channel! The music takes me back to happy times spent with my Nana and Granddad (born 1905 and 1908). My granddad played many instruments, and he loved to play and sing many old songs to me. I miss those days! Thanks for uploading all this great music.

I played this for my 80 year old grandma

I love the 1920s

es un ritmo espectacular me encanta es un sonido armonioso no es comun es diferente amo este estilo d musica tiene gracia y glamur gracias...........

90s girls would love this kind of genre Waltz ! Thanks to old disney stuffs an tom & jerry

God I love this music so romantic no romance these days thanks for sharing was born in Ireland in the 70s rubbish music I grew up in !!lovely to hear real artists at work:)

You can probably still dance to live bands playing this sort of music because there are vintage bands, in the U.S. and in Europe, which specialize in this sort of music. Some of them are on KZfaq. There are also "vintage festivals" and special "vintage nights" at some establishments. I was in my 20's back in the early 1970's, and during that decade there was a fascination with the "Inter-war" period. Art deco was being re-discovered. The styles of the 1920's, 1930's, and early 1940's influenced the fashions of this era, and there even were people searching through shops which sold old clothing items from the period (I was one of them). I'd gone abroad in '74 and found a deli in London which not only played the old music but had pictures of celebs and stills from some Busby Berkeley musicals on the walls. Even their menu used art deco lettering and a prohibition gangster theme for ambiance. There was a club in Paris which, unfortunately, we didn't visit called, Les Annees '20's with a Helen Kane-ish looking flapper's face alongside the art deco lettering. Many of the films which were out at the time, both American and foreign, were set during this period, and, of course some, especially those from Europe, touched upon the politics of the time. I saw quite a few of these movies. Indeed, some theatres ran festivals of Busby Berkeley, Jessie Matthews, Eleanor Powell, Fred and Ginger, Charlie Chaplin, Leni Riefenstahl, etc. movies. Musically, this was the time when the Pasadena Roof Orchestra, from the UK, put out their first lp, and people were discovering the music of the period and how great it was. Musical skits and routines using this music showed up on some variety shows back then, especially on Carol Burnett's Show.

My grandpa had music like this on his funeral. Every time I hear this kind of music I feel tears coming up.

I used to hear this kinda music in my past life before, So nostalgic!

The most beautiful music ever composed and performed. Oh, but to be able to return to those days.

Music of the 1920's and early 1930's was gentle and lovely because there were clarinets and NO saxophones. After 1935, swing and big bands were harsher and less romantic. Love this music.

Best 20s30s DJ on KZfaq

Super excellent with very good interesting photos

I came here after watching a documentary of the great love between William "Billy" Haines and Jimmie Shields. It must have taken a lot of courage to walk away from a great career and friends due to the strength of your beliefs. Especially, a friend like Joan Crawford. It goes to show the strength of character men and women had back then. Something no-one seems to have nowadays!!! I was born far too late but at least I have found this great little channel. Thank you so very, very much from the bottom of my blessed heart.

This song list is delightful. Just the other day I found myself humming "I May Be Wrong." By Al Katz and His Kittens. How very appropriate for me. 🥰 So, light but still a toe-tapper. 🎶👏😊 Thank you. 👍

heyaaah, Bob 🙋‍♀️ I STUMBLED OVER YOU AND FELL IN LOVE 💗 with your "music-box" full of precious pearls and touching treasures 🎵🎶 WHY WAS I BORN WHY AM I LIVING to listen to YOUR music 💞 THANK YOU SO MUCH, BOB 😘

I am 81 years old and born in the late 30s. I went to high school in the early 50s and then a small college. So I have been subjected to some very great music especially in high school for dancing. But it was only within the last 2 years, after retirement, that I realized how absolutely great the music of the 20s and 30s was, And in spite of hard times in both the 20s and 30s it was probably the greatest time to live in our country. Since the 1970s I can't relate to the music at all. But every night while on the computer and with DVDs in my car I go back to the 30s everynight. So if you see a car at a stop sign and the driver is tapping his fingers on the steering wheel it is probably me. And we all owe this to Pax41, his quality of music appreciation and his establishment of this web site. Imagine this, my great parents grew up in the 20s and started their married life in the 30s, WOW. Your music selections made my retirement Pax41, well done!!! Alan Hill Blue Bell, Pa.

TY Pax. Mannered people on streets. Romantic vibes in the cities. Time goes by.

Thanks pax41. I was born in 1948 so probably listened to a lot of this kind of music on the radio growing up in the '50s, before buying a guitar and listening to blues in the '60s. I think it's great. Well done.

I fully share Ann marie White's comment. I was born a generation early (I hail from 1956), and even though I feel western American rock music (think of Linda Ronstadt, The Eagles etc.) was superb in the mid 70s, I much prefer this type of music. I already loved it as a teenager and now in my late 50s I love it even more.

I think the reason old guys like me, 77, like this material is that is has form, words one can understand and some pop. Younger kids can like this too as seen below because music with wit, pop, and meaning or just jive can out do the angst of today's sludge..

I made it all the way to the early 90's, after that I said enough!, however, I can listen all day to music from the early 90's (as stated) all the way back to the middle ages, and love it.

I love the 30's

I am 24 and LOOOVE this music!! Such feel good songs. Make me so happy from the inside out. A true happiness that makes my heart dance!!

Simply Beautiful. Thank You

Beautiful music composed during a more civilized time. I'm glad that the internet is powerful enough to take me to this time; and I am just 21 years old.

This wonderful music is for all ages; it encourages the young to opportunities of love, and it gives us old guys some new ideas!

This has been my drinking music for a while now. Especially when I start looking and fixing my vintage collectibles. Thank You for sharing. This music is Amazing!

It would be very, very hard to Top This selection you put together of hot Jazz recordings.

old time music makes me feel nostalgic even though i was not alive when it was new! i love it

So nice to see how you care, I was born amidst this Period and as well as listening to my Mom's Records, I also built myself a Crystal set so I could listen to the B.B.C. Wireless. For me times were hard, but also, I do look back with Fond memories of Family and Loved Ones Long Gone, Thank you Again, Keep it u p for all of us. :):):)

Getting late but wanted to hear some great 20s 30s songs! My mother played these beautiful voices and instruments on the old tube record player when I was child. They are so wonderful to hear!

How can it be that the music I love is all some ten years older than I am? Thank you, Pax, for posting it.

best music by far from the roaring 20s @ 30s

...auch nach bald 100 Jahren noch sehr schön zu hören. Danke dafür.....

This songs remember my granparents, died in 2006 and 2013. I'd love this era

remember when you got your first radio in the 60s and you used to walk across to the tree in your back garden and just tune in to radios and sit underneath that huge oak tree and just sit and listen because I do

Man, this is the closest thing we have to time travel, the music of the time, footage of the time, the seen style, the movies from the likes of Harold Loyd and Charlie Chaplin, would have seen this time with my own eyes but it’s probably for the best.

I love this type of music so much, makes me so happy ♥︎

There's just something nice 'bout this era of music to me. It reminds of simpler,less PC times. It wasn't perfect by any means, but we weren't all so conserned with insulting someone that we were afraid to say anything....But this is just the remanises(?) of a(soon to be) 45 year-old with too much time on his hands....

I grew up with this ,my mother played this stuff all the time and sang it to us!

I can hear Tuba Skinny playing this!

The pan out during "Why Was I Born" is a great idea. Very visually and audibly pleasing. Great work, thanks.

Was für eine wunderbare Musik.. ich genieße es🙏❤️

Gracias desde Argentina. Saludos.

All ages love this music. Thanks, Bob.

I hit the ceiling every time I hear Hittin' the Ceiling, this is by far my favorite fast fox trot!

hahaha tom and jerry music so nice XD

Good year

i hate the comments that hate the comments about 12y olds. On topic: this always reminds me of old disney movies :)

Great music

Nem era nascido, mas gosto de pesquisar musicas antigas.

Wow Music Songs With No Autotune

La Belle Epoque!! it's a very nice music!! Thank You!! Big-up!!

Nice upbeat set of songs. I really like "Hitting the Ceiling".

Beautiful music. Today's music is rubbish as it only speaks about sexual harassment and being better than others. This music speaks a story. Not a regular story but a story no man can speak but only sing. This music brings power. Power of love,friendship,careness, and fine loyalty no other music generation can bring, We feel the music. We experience it. We live it. I had a choice. "To live as a average or speak impossibility. I chose the impossible."

Listening to this music I sometimes wish I lived in a cabin somewhere in a lovely forest that has a nearby stream. Just walking around admiring nature and swaying my head and body to this wonderful music. Being a loner by nature I could fully enjoy this scenario alone. Thank you so much for so many videos with such entertaining music. 👍🎶🥰

Love that photo of the old Paramount theater 5 mins in.

im 60s and enjoy that music . thanks for give me thats moments.

These are just Wonderful... they'll be listened to for another 100 years. So simple, yet complex. Bands with this talent and style don't exist today, no one has the time to listen any more...sad so sad.Thanks a Bunch...

¡¡maravillosa música!!👍😀❤👍👍

Luve this music, total bliss, what could be better, knitting n Trad Jazz???🌈😍

Wonderful selection of pieces.

Que hermosas musica, siempre la escucho en mi hogar.

Thank you for including the names of vocalists. It is not always easy to find the names. I have a lot of this sheet music, so it's fun to hear the songs.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful music with the world Pax

We're learning about the 20's in our homeschool and this is great to give them a feel for the era.
