[Dixielandjazz] Two beat or four beat that is the question......................

[Bill Gunter]

A pithy question:

>Could any erudite list member please explain to me the difference between
>two and four beat and also suggest how an old 'cloth ears' (i.e. aged non
>musician) should be able to distinguish one from the other?

This isn't an 'erudite' answer nor is it necessarily the right answer but 
it's my best explanation . . .

Two beat  = BOOM chuck BOOM chuck
Four beat = BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM

Respectfully submitted,

Bill "Boom chuck chuck (I like walzes)" Gunter
