THE SONG VINTAGE of 1939-40 will rank with that of 1912-13—which saw the birth of ragtime-as one of the "great" years of popular music. Not for many seasons has there been such a crop of calchy tunes,

Leading music publishers were recently asked the reason.

One held the view that such "great" seasons "just happened"; a second, that the war itself had given a fillip to popular songs; a third that-the black-out had made people stay at home, listen to the radio or the gramophone, and play the piano, and thus become more "musle- conscious"; a fourth that music is a corrective to war depression.
