Depression Era Music

Today is eerily care about the Great Depression that began in the late 1920s with the crash of the stock market.

There was economic chaos with banks crashing, rioting by unemplotted workers, and the famous Presidential election of 1928.

The winner, Herbert Hoover, said at his acceptance speech, “The two of us in America this week are nearer to the final triumph over poverty… The two of us shall soon with the help of God be in sight of the day when poverty will be banished from this land.” That statement came back to haunt him when the crash occurred a year later. The Great Depression ushered in a host of songs with titles care about “Brother Can You Spare a Dime,” and “Life Is Just a Bowl of Cherries.” These songs had a sly way of bringing humor and sarcasm into the real lives of its listeners. Today’s tunes is absolutely not the same as the tunes of the 1930s and fortunately, all the people handle an economic downturn differently. In the 1930s the only media was stereo and there was no air conditioning to keep people cool as they waited for times to get better. Today, the unemplotted can collect unemployment benefits, take steps to economize, and wait it out in a weather conditions-controlled beach house with a central Heating as well as Air Conditioning system. Instead of borrowing a dime, the request for people without Heating as well as Air Conditioning will be to stop by and “borrow” a BTU, or to barter fruit preserves for some fuel to keep their gas furnace going in the winter. Some of the unemplotted will be able to find work in the Heating as well as Air Conditioning industry. I predict a boom even in bad economic times as people seek to keep their older Heating as well as Air Conditioning systems running instead of replacing them until “Happy Days are Here Again”.
