    Did a strike prevent music records to be made in 1943?

    Question #111581. Asked by serpa. (Dec 20 09 2:34 AM)

    		Yes there was. It started on 1 August 1942 and ended just over a year after it began.

    		No, it actually didn't. The strike prevented instrumentalists from recording, not the record companies issuing back catalogue recordings or new a capella recordings (vocal only). Vocalists were not on strike. It should be noted that this was a USA strike only, and recording went on in the main part of the world subject only to the restrictions and economies imposed by wartime conditions. See reference above.

    I asked this question two years ago, but it was never answered: in the summer of 1944, in a northeastern American city, a large audience enjoying a specific form of entertainment heard the band strike up a piece of patriotic music that had a traditional significance in the context. Where was this audience, what was the music, and what did it signal to the performers?
