@David:
Are you speaking of a caballo only?
Yes.
Thomas, I hope that you don't leave this forum.
No. I would only leave if I felt that the majority of the members were getting funny.
@Cuco:
You put something in my mouth by protesting: "You are totally wrong in what you are saying there is no rhythm of a caballo none what so ever ." I have never said that there wasn't such a rhythm. All I said was that I don't know any other name but "A Caballo".
As a matter of fact, you did not correct me at all. I said that "the new dance became a craze in the 1960s", which you could not deny, because Belisario and Fajardo came to the States from 1960 on. All you added was that Davidson had a show in Cuba before 1959, which (1) is to be verified and (2) does not necessarily mean that he promoted his new dance in this show before 1959.
You were the one who was wrong when you said: "A Caballo is not a Rhythm it's just a phrase the rhythm that is played when the Caballo is ask for is Pachanga ." You were wrong when you said: "This is a fifty's thing and inventor is Edwardo Davison of dance and rhythm no Africans none of what you are talking about", as David and I have proved - provided I interpreted this "sentence" the way you meant it.
What is worse, you are successfully forcing me to explain what lies obvious right before your eyes. That's what makes posting on this forum tiresome. It's no fun to post something reasonable only to be patronized without the least justification. And I remember it had happened before. And it happened again when you responded to David: "A Caballo pattern has nothing to do with generic's ''genus, class, group, or kind; general ". He never said that. He defined the term "generic", not the "A Caballo" pattern.
This is the last time I make any effort to negotiate between my idea of communication and your practice of keeping your head and shoulders above anybody else around. You would considerably increase your popularity, if you kept your knowledge and experience above your ego.
Thomas
