11/16
So we've had our first rehearsal with Dale on a new Bulgarian tune (as well as a handful of traditional Middle Eastern tunes). It's a kopanica (also: kopanitsa) dance tune in 11/16. Sounds something like the following:

Sweet Buddha, I really love playing Bulgarian folk dance music--so often in odd and complicated meters (sometimes even irrational meters--this one's in 11/16)--and Dale is really diggin it too. You'll get to hear us play it this Friday at Deano's Vino (sometime between 9 pm and 2 am the next morning--I love these marathon shows).
