Yes! It was the first time I'd taught the workshop, and it was difficult to guage how far I'd get. As it turns out, there was probably enough for 3 1-hour workshops (which might be a better way of doing it in future??).

Most of the time at Modern Jive nights, I've heard each song so often that I just know what is going to happen. It is only for unfamiliar songs that I need to count.
I will listen to the first verse, and decide whether it is 32 or 48 beats, and note where the break is. After that, if it is a 32 beat phrase, I can usually pick it up after the first 16 beats. If it is a 48 beat phrase, I can pick it up after 32 beats.
