1920's music ???

Posted by Outhouse Instruments on October 18, 2010 at 8:12am in Performances, How to Play, Lessons, Concerts

Ok, I have a festival coming up on what is called "The Great Gatsby Day" at a local tourist attraction.
Chinqua Penn Plantation.

It was built in the 1920s and I want to learn a "period" song or two.
I'm guessing "Tin Pan Alley" stuff.

Any suggestions?

Ragtime. Scott Joplin..Entertainer...Maple Leaf Rag. Here is a great page to get some ideas. Basic chord progressions. Enjoy.
