Then tune in to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , aka Happy Music Radio , which plays nothing but popular music and jazz from the 1920s and 1930s. You can’t listen without smiling! They also play the odd radio advert from that era. The car ones are great.

A thought: an Oppo jam session would be a lot of fun. Someone lays out the base of the song, and people just add to it.

That would be cool, though improv is not my particular idiom.

I’ve been on a swing kick today without really knowing why but they’re right, it is “Happy Music” even if it wasn’t from a particularly happy era. I had this one blasting in my (empty) office.

Well, the 20s were roaring, if you survived the Spanish flu. The economy was looking pretty good, I guess, for at least the next few years. A bit different if you were a dirt farmer somewhere.

I meant more swing music which was more of a 30s-40s thing but now that you mention it a little Louis Armstrong and his Hot Five would be good.
