FW: [Dixielandjazz] 1 & 3 vs. 2 & 4

[James Kashishian]

=A0=A0 Kash is absolutely right about this. In most European music the
emphasis is on the 1 & 3rd beat ............


He, he!!!  Everyone is quoting me on my comment....saying I'm,
"absolutely right"!   I've read it so many times now, it's beginning to
go to my head.  (Bad thing, that.  In my experience, once you're
convinced you're on top, something happens to bring you down to where
you really are...alongside everyone else.)  Ever have that happen?  When
you really play something outstanding, and think "that's it!  I AM the
best!"  Two bars later...you get lost, or something!    Music is a great
leveller.
