I live in Astoria and I was talking with a bouzoki player and he told me that one of the traditional Greek songs is in 9/8 although when he heard it, it was more a 10 or possibly 11/8.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9091994.post-1146093645871797432006-04-26T18:20:00.000-05:002006-04-26T18:20:00.000-05:00Wow, what a great story! I completely understand your feelings- often, when I'm listening to a Serbian wedding dance or something, I'm acutely aware that my brain is missing some cultural architecture that would let me 'feel' the music properly. I wonder if Nikola might have made his point better by taking you to a village dance rather than a musicologist.Trevor Murphyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10234240299061432220noreply@blogger.com
