And if it's something from the States, nothing that would not have been available before Dec 1941 since I assume that anything released over here after the US entered the war would not have made its way into the collection on board a German u-boat.
However if someone wants to tell me otherwise I'll be happy to hear it as I had to cut some of my favorites out of the playlist for that reason. :wah:
Whether or not US recordings were readily available at all times before that I have no idea, but that's where I've chosen to draw the line.
That's just popular contemporary music, though, with classical music I don't care if the recording I have on hand is a performance from 1995, if it was being performed and (I assume) recorded before the war, and I like it, it goes in.

Good take on it FK, dammit, because now I will have to consider it.
All of my music is pre-1945, with a lot of jazz, swing and blues from the 1930s. Not entirely National Party line, of course, but as the plan is that I shall be set ashore on the southside of Baltimore to infiltrate America, BdU looks through its fingers.
As for radio shows, broadcasts, etc., I am fudging big time; I call them shortwave broadcasts. Other than FF, however, I cannot stop them showing up when I am submerged.
In short, it is an easy, if imperfect, immersion that satisfies the amateur musicologist and historian in me as we waddle our way in force 9 winds to Halifax. |
