Music during the great depression

Hello:

In my music class we are learning about music history in United States. I did some research over internet and found that there are so many songs made during the great depression. This is the cultural aspect of economic change but we can see the effects on people.

Unemployment in US during the great depression was up to 25%. Bing Corsby, a sang a famous song named, "Brother, Can you spare a dime?" (LINK) The pictures in the video are also very historical. They give the over all idea of that time. 

Connecting economics to different aspects of life, and trying to learn from different fields.
