Dan Spink Asks For Different Use of "Stride"<BR>
<BR>
While I totally agree with all the comments I've been reading about the use of piano to drive the horns, etc., etc., I must request that some people not use the word "stride" to simply mean "Boom Chuck" or, as others often do, another way to say ragtime. Stride is more a variation of ragtime where the left hand rolls off the base note onto a 10th (or other interval) to create a moving base feeling. Jame P. Johnson and Fats Waller records show this very clearly. <BR>
