Welcome to our podcast, Band BFFs. The podcast

00:00:10.359 --> 00:00:12.580
where we make your music selection less complicated.

00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:15.500
On today's episode, we will be discussing Zydeco

00:00:15.500 --> 00:00:19.039
Cajun crawdad dance by Roland Barrett. Cheers

00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:21.699
to starting the conversation. I dare you to say

00:00:21.699 --> 00:00:24.079
that fast five times. No, I had enough trouble

00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:29.269
with slowly one time, but thank you. What a fun

00:00:29.269 --> 00:00:32.409
piece this is. This is very programmatic if you

00:00:32.409 --> 00:00:35.990
can't tell by the title. Yes. It is just under

00:00:35.990 --> 00:00:39.950
three minutes long. It's in cut time. It does

00:00:39.950 --> 00:00:42.609
have a little section in 4 -4 but cut time and

00:00:42.609 --> 00:00:46.049
a fast cut time. It is in the key of concert

00:00:46.049 --> 00:00:49.590
B -flat and then it goes to F and then returns

00:00:49.590 --> 00:00:52.289
back to the key of concert B -flat. This is definitely

00:00:52.289 --> 00:00:53.990
something that is a little bit meatier. It's

00:00:53.990 --> 00:00:57.299
more rhythmically complex. It's more melodically

00:00:57.299 --> 00:01:00.920
complex, articulations, style, style, style,

00:01:01.579 --> 00:01:05.840
split trumpet parts, split clarinet parts. Lots

00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:08.980
of percussion. It calls for a wash. We were just

00:01:08.980 --> 00:01:10.799
having the discussion. It calls for a washboard.

00:01:10.859 --> 00:01:12.980
I mean, it's very this is meant to be very Creole,

00:01:12.980 --> 00:01:17.599
right? Louisiana style music, but the washboard

00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:20.000
is really important in this. If you don't have

00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:23.260
a washboard, you could sub that the washboard

00:01:23.260 --> 00:01:27.359
part for a Weero. It does call for a Weero in

00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:30.599
a separate section of this, but you could choose

00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:34.000
to not cover the actual Weero part and instead

00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:38.189
just use that as a substitute washboard if you

00:01:38.189 --> 00:01:43.769
had to. Yep. So as Laura mentioned, it's a brisk

00:01:43.769 --> 00:01:48.510
120 marked in cut time. It starts off with like

00:01:48.510 --> 00:01:51.930
a little flute trill and just like bells playing

00:01:51.930 --> 00:01:56.549
and suspended cymbal. And then we have the first

00:01:56.549 --> 00:02:00.530
statement of the little zydeco melody, one and

00:02:00.530 --> 00:02:03.590
two. And then the next measure, another group

00:02:03.590 --> 00:02:06.370
one E and two. Um, so it's just kind of doing

00:02:06.370 --> 00:02:09.370
this little introduction to the melody and then

00:02:09.370 --> 00:02:12.789
two E and a one E and two one E and two. So it's

00:02:12.789 --> 00:02:14.969
just kind of passing back and forth. Lots of

00:02:14.969 --> 00:02:19.009
accidentals written in, um, go, uh, concert a

00:02:19.009 --> 00:02:21.669
flats. Um, so just got to be kind of aware of

00:02:21.669 --> 00:02:24.370
that again, as Laura mentioned, lots of style,

00:02:24.610 --> 00:02:27.270
lots of accents on beat one. So to kind of give

00:02:27.270 --> 00:02:30.150
that, you know, feel of like one and three being

00:02:30.150 --> 00:02:33.719
brought out. and then everybody kind of joins

00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:36.159
together. So it's kind of like imagining like

00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:38.240
a party, like you're getting ready for a Cajun

00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:42.080
party. And everybody's just like interjecting

00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:45.900
that part over and over. You know, that sort

00:02:45.900 --> 00:02:47.840
of thing. And they end up on a long note like,

00:02:48.379 --> 00:02:51.419
and they hold out that note. So just like teacher

00:02:51.419 --> 00:02:53.860
kids. Well, first of all, I would not try to

00:02:53.860 --> 00:02:55.919
learn it in cut time, right? Oh, of course. So

00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:58.659
start learning it in a fast four four. Now I

00:02:58.659 --> 00:03:01.569
know that there are different schools of thought

00:03:01.569 --> 00:03:04.349
on this, but because it's eventually supposed

00:03:04.349 --> 00:03:09.050
to be 120 in cut time, I would try to go faster

00:03:09.050 --> 00:03:12.710
than 120 in 4 -4 so that you are not learning

00:03:12.710 --> 00:03:17.889
it in half speed or less than. It is way more

00:03:17.889 --> 00:03:20.550
difficult to really help the kids capture the

00:03:20.550 --> 00:03:24.330
feel of the piece like that. So I would start

00:03:24.330 --> 00:03:28.629
it at 130, 140 in 4 -4 time just to get them

00:03:28.629 --> 00:03:30.550
comfortable on of the more syncopated rhythms

00:03:30.550 --> 00:03:32.750
which we're coming up to in just a second and

00:03:32.750 --> 00:03:35.990
then as quickly as possible shift it to cut time

00:03:35.990 --> 00:03:39.069
even keeping that same tempo 140 and 44 okay

00:03:39.069 --> 00:03:42.729
now we're going to go 70 in cut time so that

00:03:42.729 --> 00:03:44.870
they can start to get the feel of what it's like

00:03:44.870 --> 00:03:48.330
in cut time. I'm also currently doing a cut time

00:03:48.330 --> 00:03:53.189
piece and I did the same thing once we got to

00:03:53.189 --> 00:03:56.629
140 I switched it over but I did teach it from

00:03:56.629 --> 00:03:58.229
the get -go that the kids were not going to tap

00:03:58.229 --> 00:04:01.099
their in 4 -4. Yes. And I made them do a rhythm

00:04:01.099 --> 00:04:03.900
sheet on our piece and we didn't do the rhythms

00:04:03.900 --> 00:04:07.840
in 4 -4. I made them write in the rhythms in

00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:10.659
cut time so that they would learn how to count

00:04:10.659 --> 00:04:14.259
it in cut time so their foot tap would be in

00:04:14.259 --> 00:04:16.459
cut time so that when we finally eventually made

00:04:16.459 --> 00:04:18.959
that shift into the faster feel they weren't

00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:20.540
going I don't know what we're doing anymore or

00:04:20.540 --> 00:04:22.360
like one two three four one two three four you

00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:25.040
know their foot can't keep up with that so that

00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:28.910
I think is a good idea for for just any piece

00:04:28.910 --> 00:04:31.269
that's gonna have cut time teach them to tap

00:04:31.269 --> 00:04:34.050
their foot that way the whole time yes yeah i

00:04:34.050 --> 00:04:36.589
think that's really important yep um after the

00:04:36.589 --> 00:04:39.970
long note everybody gets to go one and two one

00:04:39.970 --> 00:04:45.000
and two and uh and two and yeah I don't know

00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:47.699
I'm sight reading this piece but uh it's very

00:04:47.699 --> 00:04:50.980
very syncopated yeah one e and two and a e f

00:04:50.980 --> 00:04:53.959
three or a two and yeah one e and two and a e

00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:56.420
a two and yeah so that rhythm comes back a lot

00:04:56.420 --> 00:04:59.339
so I mean obviously I would make sure that they

00:04:59.339 --> 00:05:02.019
know how to count it in cut time I think that's

00:05:02.019 --> 00:05:06.500
important um playing it on one note uh so that

00:05:06.500 --> 00:05:08.519
they have the idea of what the rhythm is and

00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:10.980
then putting it on your pitches and the way that

00:05:10.980 --> 00:05:13.750
uh Roland Barrett has written out the articulations.

00:05:13.870 --> 00:05:17.310
The slurs are really, they actually, I think,

00:05:17.550 --> 00:05:19.730
make it even easier. And it has a little bit

00:05:19.730 --> 00:05:25.149
more of that like back beat feel. So that's cool

00:05:25.149 --> 00:05:27.170
because he probably wrote it to keep it like

00:05:27.170 --> 00:05:29.290
really stylistic too, which I think is awesome.

00:05:29.689 --> 00:05:32.069
So there are two big primary melodies that happen.

00:05:32.089 --> 00:05:38.170
This one here at the very beginning. And that's

00:05:38.170 --> 00:05:40.879
what we're getting into right now. We've set

00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:43.399
the whole piece up, we get to measure 23, and

00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:45.439
the flute and the clarinets are the ones that

00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:48.819
are establishing that first little melody. We

00:05:48.819 --> 00:05:51.560
have motor parts going on. The motor part reminds

00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:54.819
me of the little like, boom, boom. Like the little,

00:05:55.579 --> 00:05:57.279
what is that? Yeah, I know what you're talking

00:05:57.279 --> 00:05:59.420
about. I wish you could see her face so you could

00:05:59.420 --> 00:06:01.480
see what she's. What is that thing called though?

00:06:01.779 --> 00:06:04.750
Like a. Like a jug. Yes. Is that what it is?

00:06:04.750 --> 00:06:05.949
Yes, yes, yes, yes. Yeah, like where you blow

00:06:05.949 --> 00:06:08.430
on the jug across like a flute, like you blow

00:06:08.430 --> 00:06:11.470
across the jug hole and it goes, boom, boom,

00:06:11.470 --> 00:06:15.870
jug. I don't know. What do you call it? We need

00:06:15.870 --> 00:06:17.850
to be more educated on Creole music. Sorry everybody.

00:06:18.430 --> 00:06:21.069
But they does that too in the part. It's like

00:06:21.069 --> 00:06:23.250
it's tuba in euphonium and they're going boom,

00:06:23.310 --> 00:06:25.970
boom, boom, boom. They're all on the downbeat

00:06:25.970 --> 00:06:27.550
and then we have some of the others that are

00:06:27.550 --> 00:06:28.889
on the upbeat. Yeah, it's cute. So we've got

00:06:28.889 --> 00:06:31.790
like the - Yeah, the jug band. Yes. Well, yeah.

00:06:32.460 --> 00:06:35.439
I'm gonna just shift and we're gonna pivot and

00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:38.360
pivot, pivot. Okay, thank you. Our friend's reference

00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:41.139
will always help. But they are on the downbeat

00:06:41.139 --> 00:06:43.240
tubas, bass clarinets, bari. They are on the

00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:45.339
downbeat and then we've got trombones and euphoniums

00:06:45.339 --> 00:06:47.079
that are filling in on the upbeat. So they're

00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:48.899
like playing the role of a French horn in a march

00:06:48.899 --> 00:06:53.079
and just making sure that that locks in. The

00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:55.480
woodblock, we didn't even talk about. percussion

00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:58.100
besides the washboard and weero stuff, but there

00:06:58.100 --> 00:07:00.839
is quite a bit of percussion and it's all really

00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:03.560
important to add to the texture and the feel

00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:06.279
of this. Woodblock is like taking the place of

00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:08.759
snare drum in a lot of this, so you need your

00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:12.910
woodblock player to be, you know, solid. So we

00:07:12.910 --> 00:07:14.949
have this little melodic idea. This goes all

00:07:14.949 --> 00:07:17.189
the way through in the upper woodwinds. We end

00:07:17.189 --> 00:07:19.769
up adding oboe in eventually, but we repeat this

00:07:19.769 --> 00:07:22.470
little melodic statement until we make it to

00:07:22.470 --> 00:07:25.149
measure 31. Now those same instruments that were

00:07:25.149 --> 00:07:29.089
playing the first melody now go into this accompaniment

00:07:29.089 --> 00:07:31.529
mode on this little half note feature. And it's

00:07:31.529 --> 00:07:34.290
slurred and just like flowing underneath the

00:07:34.290 --> 00:07:36.810
melody which is in the trumpet. And trumpet brings

00:07:36.810 --> 00:07:41.459
in the second theme that we hear in this piece,

00:07:42.019 --> 00:07:44.819
um, one and two, uh, e and two and one and two

00:07:44.819 --> 00:07:48.519
e, uh, one and two, uh, e and two and one and

00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:52.120
two e, uh, so, and most of the band will have

00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:55.939
one of those two themes at some point in the

00:07:55.939 --> 00:07:58.779
piece, if not both. So Katie mentioning that

00:07:58.779 --> 00:08:02.139
she did a rhythm sheet for that. This is a great

00:08:02.139 --> 00:08:04.560
for a melody sheet because you can address the

00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:06.459
rhythm, you can address the style, you can address

00:08:06.459 --> 00:08:09.040
the notes and the whole band. it's gonna affect

00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:13.259
the whole band. Yep. So we get to 39, the upper

00:08:13.259 --> 00:08:15.819
woodwinds have that same first melody again.

00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:19.439
We're back to the jug band feel at 39. No, I'm

00:08:19.439 --> 00:08:22.240
not letting it go everyone. And the little woodblock

00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:25.720
part comes back again, like we had before. And

00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:29.360
this little melodic thing goes on for eight measures.

00:08:29.379 --> 00:08:32.740
And then at 47, now the low brass get that part

00:08:32.740 --> 00:08:36.240
that the trumpets had before. And now the trumpets

00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:39.620
have gone back to that slurry flowy thing that

00:08:39.620 --> 00:08:42.120
the upper woodwinds had before now the trumpets

00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:44.960
get it and this is kind of like a brass feature

00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:47.679
sort of but there's not even a tuba part yeah

00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:50.299
so it's featured in euphonium and trombone and

00:08:50.299 --> 00:08:53.539
there is not um a lot of times in this piece

00:08:53.539 --> 00:08:56.120
where the whole band is playing there is well

00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:58.480
i guess the better way to put it is section yeah

00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:01.019
there is there is way more of this piece that

00:09:01.019 --> 00:09:04.519
is small different color groups of instruments

00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:08.200
even like in this area you know from measure

00:09:08.200 --> 00:09:11.879
23 on So it's kind of cool to kind of experiment

00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:13.480
with those different colors and give those sections

00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:16.740
an opportunity to be featured for sure. Those

00:09:16.740 --> 00:09:19.600
low reeds and low brass, the tenor voices, if

00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:22.659
you will, are moving on with that part. And then

00:09:22.659 --> 00:09:25.440
we get to 55 and we're back to the upper people

00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:28.740
with that first melody part. Trumpets now have

00:09:28.740 --> 00:09:31.779
kind of like a counter melody rhythmic line,

00:09:31.779 --> 00:09:36.639
I would call it, along with snare drum. And horns

00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:39.620
have like this really cool moment with saxophone

00:09:39.620 --> 00:09:42.919
that I thought was neat to kind of feature a

00:09:42.919 --> 00:09:44.820
little bit more because it's just a different

00:09:44.820 --> 00:09:48.919
thought. little harmonic cool pretty part yes

00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:52.230
we do have the full band in here playing at this

00:09:52.230 --> 00:09:55.590
point. First time since the intro. But it is

00:09:55.590 --> 00:10:02.850
that same idea that just in different color groups

00:10:02.850 --> 00:10:04.649
moving throughout the band. Now we're getting

00:10:04.649 --> 00:10:07.129
ready to come into a transition point where it

00:10:07.129 --> 00:10:09.070
slows down. There's a ritardando and the full

00:10:09.070 --> 00:10:12.250
band is moving in half notes together. We end

00:10:12.250 --> 00:10:16.649
up on a fermata before we transition to 4 -4

00:10:16.649 --> 00:10:21.330
time and much slower. This is just a little Two

00:10:21.330 --> 00:10:23.889
bar, what is the word I'm looking for? Just a

00:10:23.889 --> 00:10:26.830
little like... Interlude. There you go. Just

00:10:26.830 --> 00:10:30.909
an in -between thing. Slow at 60 BPM. It's just

00:10:30.909 --> 00:10:34.649
woodwinds, real pretty sounds, two, three, four,

00:10:34.850 --> 00:10:38.210
fermata, other people playing fermata. And then

00:10:38.210 --> 00:10:42.409
we get to the Cajun party. This is the party

00:10:42.409 --> 00:10:45.250
dance area of the piece and I think it's really

00:10:45.250 --> 00:10:48.610
cool. Timpani has a solo. They just like kind

00:10:48.610 --> 00:10:51.519
of hit a roll. and then get louder and louder

00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:54.840
and louder. And then everybody gets to just go

00:10:54.840 --> 00:11:01.299
wild. Yes. Clapping, cheering, like all the things,

00:11:01.620 --> 00:11:04.399
everybody, you know, clapping on the upbeats

00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:06.679
or the backbeats, which are super important in

00:11:06.679 --> 00:11:09.279
Creole music. Katie's so torn up about it. Yeah.

00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:11.799
I'm very excited about the little, the woohoo

00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:14.000
moments that like you could do, you know, like,

00:11:14.259 --> 00:11:16.720
like a Cajun party. Yeah. They can have fun.

00:11:18.860 --> 00:11:21.759
Yeah, you just shout out stuff random stuff while

00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:23.899
they're clapping. So this is awesome. Percussion

00:11:23.899 --> 00:11:26.340
is playing. We've got the washboard going. That's

00:11:26.340 --> 00:11:29.100
really setting the I mean this to me. I'll tell

00:11:29.100 --> 00:11:32.919
you if you have oh my gosh. What was that? What

00:11:32.919 --> 00:11:35.139
was that? No, I'm not even gonna try and name

00:11:35.139 --> 00:11:36.720
the movie because I'm gonna I'm gonna butcher

00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:40.679
it. But that movie that came out last year. that

00:11:40.679 --> 00:11:43.600
was so, it won all these awards and it was about

00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:46.899
the zombies and the barn and they were doing

00:11:46.899 --> 00:11:48.919
the, do you know the movie I'm talking about?

00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:51.360
Have you not seen it? Well anyway, okay, so those

00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:52.799
of you out there in the world who have seen the

00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:54.299
movie I'm talking about and I'm totally blanking

00:11:54.299 --> 00:11:59.139
on what the name of this movie is. But this reminds

00:11:59.139 --> 00:12:04.149
me of the type of music. Blood Barn? No. I looked

00:12:04.149 --> 00:12:08.610
up Zombie Barn. Oh Lord. No, I'm so sorry. I

00:12:08.610 --> 00:12:10.250
should never have referenced it without having

00:12:10.250 --> 00:12:12.570
the name of the movie right on the tip of my

00:12:12.570 --> 00:12:17.710
brain. But anyway, that dance theme music, that's

00:12:17.710 --> 00:12:19.769
what this is. So now you do need to make sure

00:12:19.769 --> 00:12:22.889
that your kids can clap in time and that we can

00:12:22.889 --> 00:12:26.720
keep everything - 28 years later? No. But you

00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:28.700
have to give her an A for effort. She is really

00:12:28.700 --> 00:12:32.240
- This is not a test? No. Zombies 4? No. Was

00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:37.360
it about zombies? Um, yes. Something - I mean,

00:12:37.620 --> 00:12:41.940
zombies may not be the right word, but in - No,

00:12:42.139 --> 00:12:49.639
we need to give it up. I'm sure if someone is

00:12:49.639 --> 00:12:51.059
listening right now and you know what movie we're

00:12:51.059 --> 00:12:53.759
talking about, I'm sure you're yelling at your

00:12:53.759 --> 00:12:56.639
phone going, oh my gosh, this is what it's supposed

00:12:56.639 --> 00:13:00.179
to be. But right here, I love this part because

00:13:00.179 --> 00:13:03.240
it gives every chance, every section or a couple

00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:06.019
of sections a chance to be featured and they

00:13:06.019 --> 00:13:08.179
pair them up in different ways. I mean, I would,

00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:10.559
I'm currently working on this for spring concert

00:13:10.559 --> 00:13:13.200
with my band and we've absolutely planned to

00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:16.820
let the sections stand up and be, you know, stand

00:13:16.820 --> 00:13:20.919
up and truly featured when they play this. But

00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:23.460
we pass that melody that we established before.

00:13:24.179 --> 00:13:26.419
And everybody else is clapping on the back beat

00:13:26.419 --> 00:13:29.419
all the way throughout. So they kind of keep

00:13:29.419 --> 00:13:32.620
going. Percussion is doing a really great job

00:13:32.620 --> 00:13:35.080
kind of underneath with keeping the beat. Then

00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:39.210
we get a new grouping of the sax family. um along

00:13:39.210 --> 00:13:42.669
with the trumpet um so kind of the mid voices

00:13:42.669 --> 00:13:45.590
and then after them we're still clapping and

00:13:45.590 --> 00:13:49.669
going on at 95 we get to have the low voices

00:13:49.669 --> 00:13:53.289
which also includes horn um and they take over

00:13:53.289 --> 00:13:56.029
the same melody line everybody else is clapping

00:13:56.029 --> 00:14:00.740
and then we get to a Back to the first original

00:14:00.740 --> 00:14:04.259
key of concert B -flat and 4 -4 time. And this

00:14:04.259 --> 00:14:08.059
is true 4 -4 and not cut time this time. So the

00:14:08.059 --> 00:14:10.679
tempo is still marked 120 but you're actually

00:14:10.679 --> 00:14:16.120
in 4 -4. Sinners. Okay. The movie is called Sinners.

00:14:16.419 --> 00:14:18.419
Okay. She had enough time to look it up. Yeah.

00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:20.899
Okay. There we go. Okay. So now we're in the

00:14:20.899 --> 00:14:25.019
actual true 4 -4 moment at 105. And it is at

00:14:25.019 --> 00:14:28.399
120 BPM. So it's the same tempo that you went

00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:31.159
before. So basically what we've done is we've

00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:34.379
augmented the melody. So it is the exact same

00:14:34.379 --> 00:14:36.700
melody that we had before, but augmented. Now

00:14:36.700 --> 00:14:39.320
the flutes and the first clarinets and the bells

00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:42.019
are playing some kind of wiggly eighth notes

00:14:42.019 --> 00:14:44.639
accompanying it. it's not the same accompaniment

00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:47.460
that we had before. Melodies in the trumpet,

00:14:47.700 --> 00:14:50.840
tenor sax, second clarinet, and oboe. And then

00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:54.860
we've gone to snare drum here instead of washboard.

00:14:55.259 --> 00:14:58.620
So it is definitely a little bit different feel

00:14:58.620 --> 00:15:02.480
here, but it's the same concept, just augmented.

00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:07.159
After this moment, we have another fermata. moment

00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:10.559
and then a cutoff and a fermata um another little

00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:14.159
timpani roll with the timpani and this time the

00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:18.100
suspended cymbal looks like going into the cut

00:15:18.100 --> 00:15:22.940
time feel again at 113 and it is back into true

00:15:22.940 --> 00:15:24.960
cut time and it's just like the beginning with

00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:28.440
the trill and the flute one and two another instrument

00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:31.960
another instrument yeah so that kind of finishes

00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:36.179
out to um the end it's just like the beginning

00:15:36.179 --> 00:15:38.600
where everybody eventually comes together with

00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:44.139
one en two and a en two and one two one en two

00:15:44.139 --> 00:15:48.330
so cute just a cute little ending too Very fun.

00:15:48.809 --> 00:15:51.629
Once you get the feel of it and you understand

00:15:51.629 --> 00:15:55.629
that syncopated rhythm and everybody's locked

00:15:55.629 --> 00:15:59.990
in on that, this is not overly challenging, but

00:15:59.990 --> 00:16:03.049
fun. It'll appeal to audiences. The kids will

00:16:03.049 --> 00:16:04.809
have a good time playing it. I think there's

00:16:04.809 --> 00:16:09.269
lots of uses for a piece like this. Lots of opportunities

00:16:09.269 --> 00:16:12.070
to play something in a different style. Yeah,

00:16:12.070 --> 00:16:15.330
definitely. So cool. Well, we hope you will consider

00:16:15.330 --> 00:16:18.909
programming. Zydeco Cajun crawdad dance in the

00:16:18.909 --> 00:16:20.610
future. That was excellent. Good for you. I know.

00:16:20.610 --> 00:16:22.570
I'm real proud of myself. And thank you for joining

00:16:22.570 --> 00:16:25.990
us on this episode of Band BFFs.
