Not-so-fun anecdote: even in 1937 they knew white people were stealing music from black people and not crediting them.

Anyways this is just one magazine that I'm not even halfway done reading. I'm also no expert on music history (partially why I'm reading these)
Expect more fun screenshots and anecdotes to follow in the future

But the cherry on this sundae is absolutely the mail bag. This quote is even more hilarious when you understand the context: homie doesn't like being called a jazz "cat".

Also hotels had live bands all the time and that was actually a big draw for them as I'm understanding it.
That alone has been interesting to read, but the ads for different instruments have been amazing.

Radio existed at this point but records weren't as wildly available so they'd have bands come on and play live. The President has a point when he mentions it would take jobs away: those live radio gigs could be replaced by recordings of performances that cost a fraction of a live band performance.

I started at the first available issue which is the January 1937 volume and it's been a WILD ride.
The main cover story is the ASCAP president in Chicago is banning recording music. Yes: banning it! Because records are going to take away jobs from musicians. And he actually has a good point.
