[Dixielandjazz] time signatures

[David Richoux]

There is a great joke (attributed to Dave Brubeck) about explaining  
4/4 vs 5/4 and "Life is Just a Bowl of Cherries" but since this is a  
family list I can't go there ;-)

A quick Google on "Time Signatures" turns up many different basic  
music theory websites...

and many more.
