May be a little off topic here, but just wanted to let you all know that I had a wonderful evening Yesterday listening to Max Raabe & Palast Orchester in the NJ Performing Arts Center. They are performing songs from the 20s and 30s and do a great job recreating the atmosphere of the time. Many of their songs are German, but they also have a good repertoire of English songs. I've enjoyed their music on CD for many years, but this was the first time I was able to seen them live. They have one more concert in the US on their schedule, tomorrow, April 19th in Princeton, NJ, in case anyone lives close by. Here a couple of YouTube links:

He also did some 30s style interpretations of modern music (hilarious):
