Crankin' It Up: The 100th Anniversary Of An Era Passing...

...E.L. Doctorow in the novel Ragtime opines that the era of Ragtime basically ended with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand on June 28, 1914.  It would be hard to argue against that.  Everything changed when the Great War began, and we have had turmoil ever since.  These two sides are good examples of entertainment before the war.
