Thomas Pynchon exploits history for his own selfish ends

[James Kyllo]

And a great deal was damn fine, golden age of music hall and all
that...  not easy to hear now (and yes, much is awfully mawkish), but
get close with these 1920s recordings:

For on-topicness clearly one needs "I'm Looking for a Union
Sweetheart" by Ben Smith and his Uke, but for listening pleasure try
"Sob Sister Sadie (The Vamp Cry Baby)" by Bob Harmon and his Orchestra
or "Cows" by Earl Oliver's Jazz Babies.

Much more to enjoy there too.
