i saw the post about whether the verse of (It's the First Day of School and I Think I) Might Quit was supposed to be felt in 3 or in 4, and i wanted to let you know that you  very successfully carried the message over to me that it's in 4. but corollary to that, I wanted to know if you had any other tips on how to take a bit of a song that's in an ambiguous time signature like 12/8 and strongly convey to the audience that it's one way or the other,
slam the countoff as clearly as you can
