I don't think the decade is what's important - some of that stuff cited from `36 was pretty hip for it's time, some of it STILL is.

Someone like Orrin Hatch actually makes me think of the late `50s/early `60s - except I'm reminded of someone like Mitch Miller, who was truly the least hip person of his time. According to him, Bob Dylan had absolutely no future in music.

Sing along with Mitch, everybody!
