Thanks, Malcom, that's a helpful start. So if, in a 6/8 "double jig", the primary accent is on the "one" and the secondary is on the "four", where's the accent on a 12/8 rhythm? And why is a 12/8 called a slide, and why is a single jig called a slide? And while you're at it, what did I do with my gray sox? :o)PJ
