What the heck are "barber poles"

[Three Valves]

A really talented tattoo artist can actually use that to hide your 35-year-old tattoo of the unclothed head and chest of your former girlfriend, Bubbles.

HUSH, you idiot!!

I told my wife that was just a pin-up!!

As rendered by the lilypond notation system, where they call it a "segno bar line":



... also known as "serpent" segno.

If you continue to post those microaggressions, I may have to consume some more of those products manufactured by microbreweries.

"Big Beer" is an evil conglomerate that builds profits on the backs of the proletariat!!

You are an idiot AND a stooge!!

Is this thread developing into a love camp?

As for may poles and music: Certain areas have associated traditions, where long coloured ribbons are fastened at the top of the pole. Dancers then hold each a ribbon. The starting position of a dancer is determined by the specific colour of his/hers ribbon. The choreography of the dance has been calculated so that the ribbons are weaved tightly to the pole in a colourful pattern.

I have no first hand experience with this tradition. I have seen it on TV at least one time, and as far as I remember it was a German feature on traditions in southern Bavaria. I didn’t find any fantastic photos via Google, only this one showing the pattern growing down from the top of the pole:

No. It is just going back to a previous place in the discussion and changing directions the second time around.

Funny... I've never paid much attention to those things other than them just being DS markings. At a German gig last night... I noticed that there are probably six or so different variations in my music. Ah, details.
