  • "everybody's clapping on the one and the three"

    is a line from the Jason Isbell song The Last of My Kind

    Anyone know if this is a reference to particular musical traditions where the emphasis is on 1,3 and those where 2,4 are the beat?

    thanks

  • Probably.

    It's well worth checking out the video of Harry Connick Jr messing with an audience by sneaking an extra beat into a piece, thus taking the clapping audience from 1/3 to 2/4.
