sing along with Stephen

[Stephen Bauer]

sing along with me.
Zo-Zah One-Zah Two-Zah Three-Zah Four-???

If you said Four-Zah you got it right
The Zah in the second syllable has a Z sound for Zero. Zero Aces played

next chorus
N-2-Zah N-3-Zah ?-4-Zah

If you Said N you got that rignt also. you are counting backward with
Zero Aces played. N indicates a negative count

Now lets pick up the tempo a bit.
Zo-Zah One-Zah One-AaaH Two-AaaH
Aces are given the letters of the alphabet so that I don't confuse them with any number I have. Letters are always Aces played. the next ace played will be labeled Bee. Like N-1-Aaah Zo-Aaah One-Aaah One-Bee. Run the names together into words. N1A (enoneah) (Zoah). Soon the names becme states in your mind that have atributes of doubling at different counts and surrendering at others.

I know it seems difficult but the difficulty is in the explanation. I'm sure that one of the guys that runs this place can probably explain it better than I have, but one you learn to incorporate sounds in your count to keep track of what you need to know you sill be amazed at yourself remembering the sound.Your internal sense of music and sound will remember things for you that you brian threw in the recycle bin long before.

PS you have a tricky double count if you have an ace included in your counting system.

And I thought you were singing Happy Birthday to Sadman Who Sane.

"6, and 6, the number of the beast,
Threw hell, and fire...."

Or maybe a tune for Sammy Bin Hiddin?

"Run to the hills
Run for your l-eye-ife!"

 

[learning to count]
