Music by Year, 1930–1949

I only got 14 but if I were to write about the events of the 1930s today and then put them in a book and found a new religion based on them, 2000 years from now the faithful would call my recounting a contemporaneous eye-witness account.

This is my way of saying that this was slightly before my time.

Got them all except Cole Porter (which I really should have gotten) and Toscanini (whose name I recognize but would never have summoned on my own). I was really into the development of early 20th-century music for a few years. I have to dust off some of my old books.

I am quite good at remembering songs, but very bad at remembering names (and titles), for any decade.

Surprised at how low Astaire is, you/I would think Astaire and Sinatra would be the ones people know even if they dont know anything else about that era.
