Incredible resource for (American) interwar-era music

[FramFramson]

Having a game in the US or with American characters and looking for a soundtrack? Fan of ragtime or orginal blues? You should absolutely check out Ragtime Dorian Henry, possibly the most impressive music collection on YouTube:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPXlJQH2Rx5QG4aF8w52HlQ

He has a particular focus on ragtime but has a VERY healthy blues collection (with a particular focus on Piedmont blues). No European artists, but the channel is huge enough as it is and is excellently curated.

It is so interesting that you found this youtube channel...Ragtime Dorian posts an incredible assortment of music for our enjoyment...he also produces a series of instructional videos and lessons for guitar players to learn some of this wonderful music.  I have many of his lessons and he has greatly expanded my repertoire of music.  I'm a huge fan of the ragtime and Piedmont blues guitar...in fact that is where my handle comes from...I have the Blues in Vermont. 

Here is a link to one of my videos if you are interested: http://youtu.be/BXJh0VxWq9U?list=UU7zqZf6BS6LdmCB_P01DljQ

Cheers,

Nice work!

I found the channel a while ago, but I was on it again today and thought "Why am I not sharing this?". Piedmont blues is great stuff, and how I found the channel (kept tripping over it while bringing up blues songs on YouTube). I mean to look at his ragtime stuff, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

It's a massive collection. Half a lifetime's worth of listening already and he uploads about a song a day.

May I add this one?

If you are a bit more of a hep-cat there's http://www.1940sukradio.co.uk/ 

Despite the title, it plays anything between the '20s & '40s. It's UK based, where sitting in a damp Anderson Shelter listening to Harry James and his orchestra has never gone out of fashion.

 I thank you...

6milPhil beat me to posting the link to Radio Dismuke, which is my go-to source for streaming pulp-era music.

The YouTube channel is a great alternative, though. Nice find!

Nice to have a source for some European stuff too, Arlequín.
