  • Forked Deer = Rutabaga!!

    So I’ve been working on Forked Deer, and I realized if you play it really fast (much faster than I can play it) and emphasize the first beat, it sounds sort of “Scottish.” I thought it might be a “reel.” Then I learned that traditional Scottish and Irish songs can be “reels” or “jigs” but I didn’t know the difference. Well here is the difference! A reel is played in 4/4 time, and a jig is 6/8! In other words… Rutabaga or Strawberry!!

    Ha! I never thought of those mnemonics for timing. Neat, I’m going to use that!
