[speaker001:] Okay.
[Eddie:] One, two, three.
[speaker001:] [piano music]
[Eddie:] Good. Excellent.
[speaker001:] I had to stall on the. Just there.

[speaker001:] Erm... this one.
[Eddie:] And, what, what's the other number?
[speaker001:] Five, so you start on erm... this finger.
[Eddie:] Alright. So, let's hear it.
[speaker001:] [piano music]
[Eddie:] It's, now right, yeah. You we, I'm glad you said that... cos, I'm not sure if I told you this before but d'ya remember what these numbers here mean? I've told you.
[speaker001:] Oh. Tt, erm... does it mean like how many in a bar?
[Eddie:] Yeah. It means, four means crotchets. That's what four means.
[speaker001:] Ah ah.
[Eddie:] It means crotchet. It's stupid I know.
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER]
[Eddie:] Okay. And... how many crotche, if there's a four it's a crotchet, and the
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[Eddie:] thing above tells you how many there are.
[speaker001:] Oh so that's two crotchets.
[Eddie:] And count, how many crotchets in that bar?
[speaker001:] Two.
[Eddie:] And that one?
[speaker001:] Two.
[Eddie:] And that one?
[speaker001:] Erm... two.
[Eddie:] There's, yeah, that's right. So... now this one... how many crotchets are there?
[speaker001:] Erm... three.
[Eddie:] And how many crotchets in the bar? One, two
[speaker001:] Two
[Eddie:] three.
[speaker001:] One, two, three.
[Eddie:] What about here?
[speaker001:] One, two.
[Eddie:] Right there's two. That's good. Now you see that little dot afterwards?
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[Eddie:] That means... half, put the note in half, so what's half of two?
[speaker001:] One crotchet one.
[Eddie:] Right. Add half.
[speaker001:] Half is one.
[Eddie:] Not right. Okay, it's... all, the actual saying is, half the note added on.
[speaker001:] Oh! Right er
[Eddie:] So, what's half of two?
[speaker001:] Half of two, one.
[Eddie:] Half of, yeah, half of two. Yeah. Added on to two.
[speaker001:] Three.
[Eddie:] That's right. So what's half of one?
[speaker001:] Er, a half.
[Eddie:] Add it on to one.
[speaker001:] Er, two.
[Eddie:] One and
[speaker001:] Oh no.
[Eddie:] a half.
[speaker001:] One and half of to, one and a half.
[Eddie:] Right now, let's see, erm... let's try another one. Four. Go on you do that one. You've got a dotted four, dotted semigrave.
[speaker001:] Right. Half of four is two.
[Eddie:] Mhm.
[speaker001:] Add another two
[Eddie:] Mm.
[speaker001:] is four.
[Eddie:] Alright. Just... you got four, here's four, yeah?
[speaker001:] Right.
[Eddie:] You wanna find out what half of four is.
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[Eddie:] You don't actually half it but you work it out, it's two.
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[Eddie:] So you get those two and you add them on the end.
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[Eddie:] That's six. Okay? Same with two, you've got two you ge, cut them in half, add one.
[speaker001:] Oh right, to make three.
[Eddie:] Three.
[speaker001:] Ah right.
[Eddie:] So erm... that's this, you wouldn't get this one, but what about eight? A dotted eight on.
[speaker001:] And you cut it
[Eddie:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] four, and you add two.
[Eddie:] Two. Right now. You got eight, yeah? Half of eight is?
[speaker001:] Half of eight, four.
[Eddie:] A, add four onto eight.
[speaker001:] Four onto eight? Oh. Er, twelve. Right, so the answer's twelve?
[Eddie:] Twelve, yeah. So let's try a higher one. Right. Twelve itself.
[speaker001:] Twelve right. Cut it in half, six... you add... four?
[Eddie:] No you add six onto twelve.
[speaker001:] Add six... to twelve
[Eddie:] Because twelve is the number you started with, yeah? Start
[speaker001:] Mm.
[Eddie:] the number you start with, you keep that in your head... and you always add the number you find out onto that.
[speaker001:] So if that's been cut in half,
[Eddie:] Mm.
[speaker001:] you always add... the other half
[Eddie:] Yeah, you add wha
[speaker001:] onto the twelve?
[Eddie:] Yeah, d'ya know. [LAUGHTER]
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER]
[Eddie:] The number you cut in half
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[Eddie:] remember how it was in the first place... so if you cut four in half, remember four
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[Eddie:] and add half of four.
[speaker001:] Oh, so that makes six.
[Eddie:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] Alright. Yeah.
[Eddie:] Do it to eight.
[speaker001:] Right eight. Right you cut it in four, so that's four... but you remember the eight, so you add the other four
[Eddie:] Mhm.
[speaker001:] which is twelve.
[Eddie:] Good. You got it now?
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[Eddie:] Yeah? You sure? Right, so... how many in that bar?
[speaker001:] Er, three.
[Eddie:] Good. Right now, what about this one? It's,ga do you remember what will happen? Do you remember what started this conversation?
[speaker001:] Er, yeah.
[Eddie:] What happened? What did you do?
[speaker001:] I erm... I went, one, two... faster.
[Eddie:] Yeah. No, you wa, you went
[speaker001:] I went one, two, three.
[Eddie:] One, two, three.
[speaker001:] Oh right.
[Eddie:] And there's only two.
[speaker001:] Oh yeah.
[Eddie:] So really you'd say... one, two, or one, two, three, four. Okay? So, go through that again.
[speaker001:] One, two, [piano music]... One, ah, I keep missing my way through to... these
[Eddie:] That's it. Try now.
[speaker001:] [piano music]
[Eddie:] Right, now, the problem was there you, you started off too quickly didn't you?
[speaker001:] I started, yeah.
[Eddie:] So let's take it a bit slower. One, two, three.
[speaker001:] [piano music]
[Eddie:] [clicking fingers]... That's it.
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[Eddie:] Try again, yeah?
[speaker001:] Alright.
[Eddie:] One, two, three. I'll say.

[speaker001:] [piano music]
[Eddie:] Good. Right. Now... you count the amount... see how long, how long is that bar?
[speaker001:] It's, a three.
[Eddie:] Good. So you count, you hold it down for three. Then take it off.
[speaker001:] Okay.
[Eddie:] So remember you hold it down for the right length and quickly take your hand off, as soon as you've done it.
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[Eddie:] So, let's try it again, yeah?

[speaker004:] That means that er sa, America says they won't do... bomb them or anything yet.
[Eddie:] No? That's a shame.
[speaker004:] But erm... they've told them that they better keep to the peace agreement. It's ratified by the Bosnian government it's gotta be. They've signed the bands agreement right? But if they don't, if they break it or that then er... they expect... some trouble.... I was talking about... er er erm, cannabis and opium and things like that last night, now, I'm sure I'm right and these others were wrong, how do you get opium?

[Eddie:] No it's not, cos you, you eat them.
[speaker004:] I don't believe that.
[Eddie:] You can eat poppy seeds.
[speaker004:] I, d'ya know that, do you know our poppies in the garden, those big ones?
[Eddie:] Yeah.
[speaker004:] Do you when I sa, if you split them at the edge, do you know when the things... died off, the poppies there?

[Eddie:] Black seeds, those are poppy seeds.
[speaker004:] That's right. But er, is a, this sap comes out, right?
[Eddie:] Yeah, and you dry that.
[speaker004:] And that's what
[Eddie:] So
[speaker004:] it's opium isn't it?
[Eddie:] And it turns to what? Is it a powder?

[Eddie:] Cos you do.
[speaker004:] Yeah! Well they even said that!
[Eddie:] I dunno but, I would have thought Mum would have said that.
[speaker004:] Yeah. But no! No, no one thought that was right. There was still arguments.
[Eddie:] Did you, did tha that come up about eating them? Poppy seeds?
[speaker004:] Someone said about the poppy, you can eat poppy seed, but... then someone else said... no wonder I was addicted to rolls, you know, poppy seeds rolls, but... erm... no I didn't argue about it, I just oh well okay, that's... fine. I said I thought it was that way but, you know, agreed with them. But I'm sure I was right and they were wrong.
