It's a 4/4 instead of a 2/4. Like the difference between "Crazy Arms" by
Ray Price and "Hey Good Lookin" by Hank Williams. The bass plays a
boogie pattern and the piano player does a sort of quick left hand right
hand alternating pattern between the bass notes and the chord. It's the
Johnny Bush twin-fiddles pattern.
