Thread Name: Why did 32-bar AABA songs blossom so quickly?
Subject: RE: Why did 32-bar AABA songs blossom so qui

I know almost nothing about popular songs. Dance tune are my thing. A lot of the tunes where the instruction is 'any 32 bar jig or reel' are AABB. But a lot of Welsh tunes seem to be AABA (so it's easy to get lost on the repeats where you have 3 As together).
