Here are some moldy=oldies you may enjoy. The first part is a pastiche of Gene kelly, Rita Hayworth and Fred Astaire dancing. The second is a link to a site that will let you select any artist you can remember from any era and hear songs of the period. The third is a collection links to old radio programs. (I hope those links work because it doesn't look right)
First check out this video of Rita Hayworth, Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly. Someone did a wonderful job of cutting and pasting the dance routines to match this music.

The Radio
I have sent out a lot of messages, but this one is very special. You will want to tuck it away in your favorites for future use. You can listen to wh**ever artist you enjoy hearing by typing their name in the space provided.
This site is great!!!
Just type in any song that was ever played, and see what happens. Then, following
At the end of the song, it will keep playing songs of the same era forever.
