listen to that crowd... silent!! why can't crowds be more attentive like that always?

[lanerant]

and also, don't forget that you are judging his tone from a badly bit crushed, highly compressed youtube video.

and thankfully this is not a classical examination but a heartfelt live performance in front of thousands of attentive listeners who probably paid a hundred bucks each to see him.

Have you ever performed under those conditions? have you ever been paid to do more than interpret the notes on the page? and for thousands of fans, hmmm, you might slip a note or two I would guess!

@Saxation1 I do believe its because they're in a country where the people are smart enough to actually know and respect good music. just a thought.

On NPR this past weekend, Pat called me an idiot. Now, that hurts! He was talking about those who called music, like the Carpenters wrote, "cheesy". Guilty as charged .But, in my defense , late in mid-life, I have been getting into Sinatra, Bacharach, Mancini, the Hollies, Turtles, Mama's and Papa's, Peter Nero,and Glen Campbell. So, though I may have once been an idiot, I am obviously smart as a whip now, appreciating great music, whence it comes.

@kennywowie hey there, yup 6/8 is a compound meter and can totally be felt either way but the predominance of the triplet within that 2-feel keeps it pretty firmly grounded in 6/8. the beauty of this meter is the ability to shift into a duple rhythm over a triplet feel, really pushes it forward! i love 3-feels!!!!

[kennywowie]

@lanerant I'm no music prof, but wouldn't this meter be considered a compound meter, settling in as a combination of 2/4 and 6/8? Granted, 6/8 is more predominant at times, but others, 2/4 works, too.
