[78-L] name that Era

[rjh334578gmail]

Ah, the Interlude Period, as in a temporary break in the action.  That  
does kinda fit the Doggie In the Window / Mama Will Bark Era. It just  
doesn't seem to measure up to the intensity of the big band years or  
the rockabilly years in terms of exciting music. Some stuff, sure, but  
decidedly bland by comparison with that which surrounded it.

The armchair social historian in me wants to find an explanation for  
all that by looking st the folks who had just survived a horrific war  
and found great comfort in the peacefulness of Dinah Shore records and  
the escapist humor of Spike Jones.  Has there ever been another act  
that came close to the zany sounds of Spike?  Ever?  And for ten years  
America loved that stuff. Gotta ask - why?

Sent from my iPod - which explainz any bad typjng
