Answer

Swing Music all started with the change from ragtime, to jazz, then to swing. It all started at the turn of the century. The swing age was in the '20s when prohibition was not inforced correctly and the blind pigs and speak easies were very popular, especially in Detroit with the bootleggers (smugglers with beer). Swing was also popular in Germany at the time. It was outlawed though, but rebbelers risked their lives to 'swing'. It was considered the most fun time in the World (other than the world wars).
