Stocking Stuffer... and a ii-V in a Pair 3!
Holiday season is here again and so is the ubiquitous sound of holiday music. I had to laugh recently when I heard the one that repeats "...and a partridge in a pear tree" after each verse. It made me realize (being the city kid that I am), that I've never seen a partridge (or a pear tree either, for that matter).
So after checking with reliable sources, I discovered that a partridge is a game fowl, somewhere in size between a quail and a pheasant. They're ground-nesting birds, like chickens and turkeys, so anyone claiming to have seen - or have received "a partridge in a pear tree" form their true love - has most likely been smoking the bomb schmizz. On the other hand, a roast partridge in pear sauce would look mighty pretty sitting on my plate! Could be that's what they were really talking about in the first place.
So - speaking of pears - the best I can do in keeping with the holiday spirit this time around, is offer up a tasty "pair" of triads - a Triad Pair, to be exact!
