oh boy, now I'm going to have to start listening to everything a lot closer... though don't most U2 songs pretty much cycle through the same chords? not that they don't do that exceedingly well...

Dub-Dub, this is your expertise. But:
----------------------------------
Don't a fair number of pop songs (particularly songs from the '50's and 60's, such as Teen Angel and Heart and Soul) use solely the sequence
C -- Aminor -- F -- G (or G7)? or more generally, I -- VI-minor -- IV -- V (or V7)?
----------------------------------
Isn't almost all blues music a repeated 12-measure progression:
C -- C -- C -- C / F -- F -- C -- C / G7 -- F -- C -- C,
in whatever key? (some songs use F of the second measure)
----------------------------------
And taking music back a bit farther, am I right in thinking that Pachibel's Canon (one of my personal favs) is an 8-chord progression, repeated and developed?

dapper: A complimentary description of a well dressed short frenchman. A well dressed tall frenchman is called something else.
source - WOW
Where did that frenchman come from?
I never mentioned a frenchman.
Oh, he's a chef and here to cook dinner.
OK!
sorry for the confusion.

It occurred to me that the old word "dapper" is hardly encountered anymore. Did anybody find it in recent use?Oddly, I hear it used in speech yesterday, referring to "an extremely short lawyer, dapper and bald-headed, always wearing a trademark bow tie." The reference was not complimentary. (It was present once in the whole AWAD forum, and then only in a quoted poem).Indeed, even that prior AWAD reference uses dapper in a different sense. It referred to Santa Claus and meant (per bartleby) "lively and alert". http://www.bartleby.com/61/65/D0026500.html.....His smile was so dapper, his bright eyes so gleaming.
.....And was that a joint in his hand? Or me dreaming?
.....But when I caught on to the look in his eye
.....I knew it was Santa himself, flying high.
