Dude, they went from 6/4 to 8/4 to 4/4 to 3/4, back to 6/4, back to 8/4, and then to 4/8.

This is a kids' show?

All the better... kids usually aren't as rusty in the head as most adults. :)

If I learned that kind of music theory when I was a young aspiring music sponge, who knows?

...well, I'd probably be the same, but know how to communicate better with real musicians, instead of saying, DUDE, go boop boopbap right there and I'll go Cha chunkycha.

sometimes I try to relive the music school glory days and conduct the kitties in Stirring Song...but they ignore my cues and do not come in or do what they are told, much like so many of the percussion sections of my youth :)
