Subject: RE: Popular Music. Doomed to oblivion?
I have sung a Bing Crosby song in both folk clubs and at festivals. "Brother Can You Spare a Dime", written for a stage show, was a hit for both Crosby and Rudy Vallee. Wikipedia gives the genre as American pop.

As a song about the Great Depression era, I consider it eminently suitable.
