It is hot out and I'm getting tired. Please stop!!! ;-)

Comment by Tim Twiss on August 9, 2015 at 11:58am: Marc, this book is not subject to many typos, but what do you see in "Aesthetic Clog Dance"? Anything odd?

Comment by Trapdoor2 on August 9, 2015 at 12:20pm: Haven't gotten there...yet!

I've been playing the obvious stroke stuff in stroke style, the rest three-finger. "On The Barn Floor" probably should have been left where it landed after exiting the cow...

Sometimes I think these oddities, lots of weird rests, etc., were written out missing their 'context'. Something is missing, for sure.

I'll take a look at "Anesthetic Clog" in a few minutes (after lunch) and report back.

Comment by Strumelia on August 9, 2015 at 12:52pm: Well it's totally the quirky rhythmic syncopations and added phrases that make this piece distinctive. if you played the tune 'straight' it would be just rather ho-hum and like a hundred similar ditties. I can sort of put myself in the guy's brain and imagine him... taking a rather generic tune and adding some timing tricks to make it original and unique....then give it a title and boom ...brand new tune to copyright and sell in a tune book. :)

Comment by Trapdoor2 on August 9, 2015 at 2:14pm: I can't help but think that "Barn Floor" is a bit of stage music. I see actors or dancers playing out a scene with this as incidental music. It just doesn't flow well enough (in my mind) to be a solo.

Comment by Trapdoor2 on August 9, 2015 at 2:29pm: "Aesthetic Clog Dance" appears to have a misprint in the B part's key. I think it really should be set in Emaj (4 sharps). I also added a 'natural' in measure 11 on the second A (back to A natural for the triplet)...the same with M15.

I Tabbed it out (with my alterations)...I can't remember how to post pdf files here. I'll figure that out and post it.
