1930s Playlist (Good Morning)

Yesterday morning was lovely. One of those Sunday mornings where you wake up and the sun is out and the light in the house is perfect and there's nothing else going on. The Sunday paper was waiting on the driveway, coffee brewed, and the baby was happy. We sat an enjoyed the morning for many hours, listening to a playlist I'd made that was solely comprised of music from the 1930s and 40s, which only added to how pleasant everything felt. Here's a taste of it--ten songs from the 1930s. In my house music from the 30s means mostly country music but also a little Django and some old French chansons (and one avant-garde piece for good measure). Enjoy.

• Jimme Rodgers: Blue Yodel No. 9 (Standin' on the Corner)
• Cliff Bruner's Texas Wanderers: When You're Smiling (The Whole World Smiles With You)
• Jean Sablon: J'attendrai
• Bill Monroe: What Would You Give in Exchange for Your Soul
• Olivier Messiaen: Oraison
• Frehel: Du gris
• The Carter Family: Blackjack David
• Django Reinhardt: The Sunshine of Your Smile
• Patsy Montana: I Wanna Be a Cowboy's Sweetheart
• Coon Creek Girls: Sowing on the Mountain
