I have a simple tune I heard in a dance class. There was something about the time that didn't feel right to me, so I purchased a copy. I played it for a musician friend of mine and he counts it differently. The more I listen to it, the more I can hear it both ways. (Different people hear the 1 and 5 inverted.)<BR/><BR/>It's rare to have a tune that very experienced musicians will hear differently, but this is one of those.<BR/><BR/>Just like you, I'm still learning and find it fascinating that it never stops. Great music and dance offer almost endless possibilities for growth.Don Baarns - Unlikely Salserohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06312061855724975322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489977357310651356.post-11974771056527971092008-11-30T09:45:00.000-08:002008-11-30T09:45:00.000-08:00I would just like to say I have read a bunch of your articles and have found them very educational and entertaining.<BR/><BR/>However everything in this article is very true. When I started East Coast Swing as a beginner, keeping on time was probably the biggest hurdle I had to clear. But after listening to Swing music for hours on end I started to pick up on basic patterns/breaks/et cetera. It is a process I am still learning from and I think will never stop.Arcadianeyehttp://openid.aol.com/Arcadianeyenoreply@blogger.com
