This compilation of 19 tunes from the year 1929, and probably all recorded before the stock market crash of October of that year, reflect happy times (oblivious to the hard times to come). Rudy Vallee was exceptionally popular among the women listeners of the time and, appropriately, he is featured here with bookends or a song at the start and end of the mix.
A few years back I made a data DVD with the best songs of that year in 8 mixes. Two folders had songs that were not used in those mixes, either because the sound quality wasn't as good as the others or because I didn't find a way to work them in. This mix is the result of exploring those other files. I may post some of those other mixes if this one is received well here.
