Speaking of “going back,” I devoted a majority of nights and weekends this year to listening to music from the 1930s, hunting and pecking my way to thousands of songs.
Then I did what I do: made a Top 50 Songs list for each year. Here’s 1930, the best year of the decade imho. spoti.fi/3Vc392n

LONDON IS THE PLACE FOR ME by LORD KITCHENER (1948, recorded 1951)
The optimism of Windrush seems long, long way away. It’s a rose-tinted view but I’m a sucker for this guileless optimism being generously given at a time it was sorely needed.
