     | What is the time signature in Rice Paper Wings?
 
 I'm no musician, but I like to pretend I am.  I could not count along with this song tonight.  It seems like there are extra beats stuck in every once in a while.
 
 So, all you music geeks...  what is it????

     | I'm voting for it starting in three, then switching to four, but very synchopated.

     | I forgot about the short opening & ending sections.  I can't remember exactly how they go, & I don't have the disc here, but I think you may be right, AGT.

     | But right before the chorus there's two too many or two too few beats, aren't there?
   
 Or can I not count?

     | I learned how to keep the beat when I was little and took tap and jazz classes. My son has already figured out how to keep the beat better than his sister 3 years his senior.

     | the Beatles were great for throwing in waltz beats for small sections of songs.

     | I hate to say that was Paul's influence..
 but that was Paul's influence.
 
 though I DONT think you'll see that on the SUPERBOWL HALFTIME SHOW tommorow- the only reason to watch an otherwise  yawner of a game..though some may think between halfs may be worst of all
 
 
 (not this cat however....)
 
 anyway.. RPW is a terrific song..in every way.
