Great stuff, Toby!

I can still hear my grade school band director shouting "Mississippi down up" for a beat of sixteenths followed by a beat of eighth notes.

When we got that down he changed it to "one-e-and-a-two-e-and-a" for sixteenths so we were also saying (actually thinking as most played wind instruments) which beat of the measure was being played.

I have him to thank for my foot stomping habit, as well. I didn't develop the head bob until taking up the guitar

Mr. Albert didn't use Everyone and My Mother, but I'm sure he would have approved!
