Hello everyone Kirk Hamilton here. The time for April Fool's jokes has come and gone and so it is time for me to re-label this episode so that it is clear what it actually is.

I had labeled it as being my analysis of Miles Davis's So What from Kind of Blue, which is an episode that I did.

It's the next episode in your feed and it just went up after this joke had basically run its course. That's also when I'm updating this episode. Just to let you know up front that this is not really an episode of strong songs. It's just a joke. I won't spoil the joke if you haven't listened to this and you want to go right ahead it's only about 10 minutes long

but the next actual episode of Strong Songs is the one about Miles Davis's

so what that's next in your feet. I'm leaving this episode in the feed just for

posterity as evidence of a dumb thing that I did

because I had an episode coming out on April 1st and I couldn't help myself.

So sorry for spoiling the joke, but like most April Fool's jokes, he kind had to be there on April 1st in order for the joke to work.

Okay, that's enough for me. The April Fool's Day joke episode follows.

Thanks as always for listening, everyone.

Now entering Strong Songs April Fool's joke mode. In music theory a cadence is a series of chords that leads towards an expected

destination. A cadence usually comes at the end of a musical phrase. They come in all shapes and sizes.

You can have a perfect cadence or an imperfect cadence or even a deceptive cadence where the final

chord is not the one you were expecting. Now I love a good cadence as much as the next guy, but let's ask the horns what they think. Oh, Welcome. Welcome to Strong Songs, a Podcast About Music. I'm your host Kirk Hamilton and as always I'm so glad that you've joined me to talk about music with plagal cadences, music with authentic cadences, and sometimes music with

deceptive cadences.

We're talking about a very strong song this week, one with very interesting harmony and I'm excited

to get into it it so find yourself a

comfortable place to sit turn up the volume and enjoy the show.

There's actually a whole world of Caden's theory out there that I'm not even that

familiar with as a jazz musician. I really only needed to know a few of them

though when I start looking them up they all have very interesting names and

it's pretty cool to learn about that stuff, even if I don't always use it.
