[Dixielandjazz] So many musicians, so little time

[OArkas at aol.com]

Interesting thread;
The music I play, Greek music, uses 7/8, 5/8, 7/9 + 5/8 (ie 12/8), 9/8, and 
many more mixed meters in various types of syncopations.   The most common 
meter in ancient Greek poetry, the epitrite, was a 3 beat meter with a length 
ratio of 1 1/2 to 1 to 1 (ie 3, 2, 2 ie 7/8).
Fun music.
