Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for April 23, 2024

Military cadences

Oh don’t be flat.

Give it a rest…

Just a treble maker.

Aeolian Cadences to follow in Merry Major!

Appealing to the bass instinct.

All about the Bass, no Treble!!

How CLEFer of you.

that’s government work for ya… :J

Well played, Dave!

The 16th notes look like eight balls.

Don’t leave on a sour note!

Grand, just grand!

In that space on the staff the note should be able to C clearly.

Watch your step – don’t want to fall off a clef.

There is a lyrical quality to today’s cartoon that I do like…

Give it a rest.

That was on page 196 Sunday. …and don’t get me started by dotted eighth notes!

A whole note isn’t waiting at all – it’s doing a lot! Waiting would be a rest.

Basic Training Ft. Dix NJ in 1959. Lots of ‘hurry up & wait’ !

It’s a Military March

Where’s the first half of the first measure?

Silence!

Being too sharp won’t help either!

Needs more cow bells.

But they’re sweet sixteenths!
