There is an interesting echo here from the last 4T: In the early 1940s, there was one "lockout" and one "strike" in the music industry: In 1941, songwriters "locked out" the musicians - to which the musicians responded by importing songs from Latin America, resulting in such hit songs (in 1941) as Maria Elena and Amapola. In 1943, the musicians went on strike - and this gave us such "a capella" hits as You'll Never Know and Comin' In on a Wing and a Prayer.
"These, and many other matters which might be noticed, add a volume of unofficial declarations to the mass of organic utterances that this is a Christian nation" - Justice David Brewer, Church of the Holy Trinity v. United States, 1892
