[Dixielandjazz] Syncopation

[Marek Boym]

There is the story of the sot who again came home very late from work. He
needed a good story to explain his tardiness when his spouse greeted him.
He grabbed the dictionary and quickly found a word he knew she wouldn't
know. When confronted, he told her that he had fallen ill at work and had
been to the doctor who told him he had "syncopation". She then looked up
the word and found it to mean "irregular rhythmic movement from bar to bar".
