Roaring 20’s discussion. Music from that time period and style is much appreciated! I’m a swing-aholic. For those who don’t know what the Gatsby times are, you may recognize something that looks like this.

Also to sum up who Gatsby was in a nutshell:

 

much money. Big spends. Party. Party. Party. Party. Several houses.

Good stuff

The Gatsby Times were named after him since he was known for throwing huge parties. He had millions in his time, which today would be billions. I’m not exactly sure how he obtained his wealth, but he was rich.

The 1920s were all about money and economy how else would a 20 year old become obscenely rich
