OP If most all of the music produced by an oompah band is in 3/4 time, and if this word is supposed to mimic the sound of the band, why is it not called an "oompahpah" band and "oompahpah" music?
P.S. Can you tell that we spent last weekend in romantic Leavenworth, a mock Bavarian town in the Washington "alps"?
