Today’s believe it or not: Some years ago the local community center brought in a ballroom dance instructor. I was amazed to observe that she was teaching people to waltz using music in 4/4 time. When I asked her about this, she was bewildered. I explained that waltzing works well with 3/4 time, but not at all with 4/4 time. It’s gotta be one-two-three one-two three. She shrugged and said, “But this is the only music I have.”
