   Right, the natural emphasis of the beat in Turk's band would most often be 
on the 1 & 3.  Turk Murphy's band in feel and rhythm is not far removed from 
a German polka band. Much of his rep are marches or march like. And I don't 
mean this negatively.

There's no way the band could ever get them onto 2 &amp; 4. <BR>
