Musicians from New Orleans migrated to Chicago where they could get steady work. With the advent of radios in 1937, people all over the United States could listen to live big bands in their living rooms. Originally, there were only three or four record companies. If you were on their label, you were automatically a star. Then came World War II. Anita O'Day, Rosemary Clooney, Doris Day and Helen Forrest traveled with big bands and sang for the soldiers. All the railroads were tied up moving supplies, so bands traveled to entertain the troops on cargo planes or smelly box cars on the railroad. There were benefits for everything you could imagine to help finance the war. The U.S. sold war bonds to kids in school. Many mothers took a job working in factories to manufacture airplanes. Everything went for the War. You couldn't buy anything that took energy. Ladies hose were scarce, your needed coupons to buy gas or meat. You didn't eat butter anymore...you squeezed a yellow capsule in the plastic bag of Oleo.  Mothers knitted socks for soldiers fighting in subzero weather in Europe. At night, many cities turned off their lights in case enemy bombers were above.  The record companies were not allowed to press records. The government needed the oil.
