On Behalf Of Stephen Barbone 
Just watch all the white folks in the audience clapping on 1 and 3.
That's 2 beat. ;-)

Don't be too cruel, Stephen.  Most western folk music is based on 1 & 3,
therefore the folks tend to hear that first.  Spanish folk music is 1 &
3 (other than the 3/4 times), and they will go for that first when
clapping.  I go out in the audience and physically help some that are
struggling (especially if she's cute!).
