BTW the wife and I conferred on the dotted 1/4 note and the conclusion was this:

If a 1/4 + 1/8 note = 100 then you have = 3 1/8th notes and at 96 tempo each is a value of 32.

Thus if you want to express the tempo in a 1/4 note 96-32= 64.

And we both think it looks like fudged 3/4 time, and like a lot of celtic stuff it has been done in both.

We then played 3 old Scottish airs attempting to out improv each other. I'll trick her and get my daughter to video that someday soon and post it to youtube. She hit me with the flute too. Right on the ear. Something about saying she had to get up early to take out the garbage before 7 a.m. Dang raccoons....they should be hibernating not digging in my garbage.
