Very nice

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

I think that gets at least an 8 on the Dobie Scale. Let's say 8.5.

[Big Grin]

Posted by SteveRogers (Member # 7130) on :

I think that deserves the offical Super Dobie Award. Or a SDA.

Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :

Nice

Posted by Scythrop (Member # 5731) on :

I'll second the nomination for an SDA.

I third it!

All in favor, say Aye

Aye

Posted by Dr Strangelove (Member # 8331) on :

Aye. We should give one out once a year or so. Maybe once a quarter. Or whenever one particularly strikes our fancy.

Posted by ricree101 (Member # 7749) on :

I'll add an aye to that.

Posted by Tinros (Member # 8328) on :

Aye, lads.

Posted by aiua (Member # 7825) on :

Aye for I.

I know enough to know that's music humor.

I have no idea what it means, though.

That's great Megan. You deserve one of these [Laugh]

Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :

Yeah, that's why I put it in parentheses. [Big Grin]

(Basically, there are two most commonly used forms of thirds, the minor and the major. The augmented third is one half step larger than the major third, and is rarely used.)

Posted by Carrie (Member # 394) on :

Aye for the SDA. One of the best I've seen in ages.

And Megan made a funny!

Megan,

what is the difference between a 4th and an augmented 3rd?

Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :

They sound the same, but the note names used are different (and the way they appear on a staff). A perfect fourth would be C to F, while an augmented third would be C to E#.

Posted by password (Member # 9105) on :

huh. weird. thanks [Smile]

Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :

No problem. [Smile]
