I left a PJ cassette in my dad’s car once. Not sure how much he listened to, but he said he liked the song about the bee girl. “What a voice!”

I could see my dad bopping along to that one except I think it’s in 2/4, not 4/4.

Dad’s can bop to odd time sigs as long as they’re soft acoustic.

My dad is over 80 and for some reason I think that puts him in a different category. Probably because he refuses to wear a hearing aid, needs one, and can’t even hear the aforementioned soft acoustic song.

My old man was in his 50s when this happened. Sharp as a tack then., and probably still would be.

Maybe something from, but as a whole it is too noisy for a lot of people.

Yikes. Yesterday between this and my Slim Jim gaffe, I think I need a little time out.

True but

Example: 2/10 would not bang

it's definitely 3/4. Some songs are 6/8, but this isn't.
