piano lessons

When I was first introduced to swing eighths, I had a bit of trouble. (As an aside, when I was introduce to EIGHTHS I had to ask, are you people never happy? Weren't quarter notes good enough?) You know, swing eighths, it's a little more than half a quarter and the second eighth is the rest. Right. Gradually, I got the hang of it. Now I can't play my eighths straight. Oh piano, you are a cruel, cruel mistress.
