This is getting fun!

OK, let me ask you this.  How many times you screamed when a singer
started to count off with 1 and 3?  You won't be able to start playing
if swing tune wasn't counted off on 2 and 4.

For the same deal, you can't start playing Brazilian song if it were not
counted off 1 and 2, and no way if Reggae wasn't counted off with 1 and
3.  To tell you the truth, I didn't know you can't count 2 and 4 in
Reggae until I was invited to perform with their native musicians in
Kingston.  Heck, Skank comping is played on 2 and 4.  I thought you
count along with them :-(
