songs about airplanes & automobiles It's easy to see why our imaginations were captivated by the airplane and automobile in the 1910s. The first airplane passenger services and airmail routes were established during this decade, and the automobile finally became affordable for the average consumer. Many songs were written about these two new methods of transportation. While a good share of them poked fun at the Model T, most dealt with the pleasures and challenges of taking your sweetheart for a ride. You can make them hug and squeeze you, too. For if they don't, just say you won't come down until they do. You can loop-the-loop till she can hardly get her breath. It isn't hard to reason with a girl who's scared to death! Wait till you get them up in the air, boys. Up, up, up, up, way up in the air.	-----	A dozen times they'd start to hug and kiss, And then the darned old engine, it would miss. And then he'd have to get under, Get out and get under, And fix up his automobile

ragtime This musical style evolved from the cakewalks and minstrel tunes of the 1890s, and was characterized by a syncopated melody played over a steady bass line. There were two types of rags: piano rags for listening and dance rags that were performed by small bands and were written for dancing. Player pianos were at the peak of their popularity, and many rags were published as piano rolls. In New York the music houses of Tin Pan Alley were a prime source for ragtime songs. opera The popularity of opera during this decade is a direct result of the popularity of the phonograph. All across the country, people who had never seen an opera became fans when they listened to Enrico Caruso and Nellie Melba on their victrolas.		jazz Jazz was born in New Orleans in the 1890s. It spread to a wider audience in the 1910s when southern jazz bands performed on Mississippi riverboats. In the late 1910s, the style became popular all across the country when these bands made the move to northern cities like Chicago and New York. In 1917, the Original Dixieland Jass Band made the first jazz recording, "Livery Stable Blues." The term jazz was new, and an official spelling hadn't been established yet. Consequently, during this time it was spelled either jass, jas or jazz. Origins Of Ragtime
