I hate ot stereotype but it seems to hold up more than it doesn't, Mary! My wife was raised seventh day adventist and although she is a fine musician in her own right, she couldn't clap backbeats to save her life! I have observed this witrh a lot of people and invaribly I see the trend there.   Now some Epicopalian or Presbyterian will comment that they can clap offbeat but I am talking trends here!
