seriously folks - it\'s The Breakfast. simple as that. they just happen to be a 3-piece band now. they weren\'t called The Breakfast Quartet before, so why call them The Breakfast Trio now? there\'s no need to differentiate between the band as a 3/4-piece, because we know that Jordan\'s last show was 7/7/06. and if they end up getting a new member, we\'ll also know when his/her first show is! it\'s really that simple. no need to change the name of the band again!
"our little group has always been and always will until the end..."

I wholeheartedly second this notion regarding the Trio business. It\'s not like Pearl Jam changed its name to Pearl Jam Plus One or the Pearl Jam Sextet when it added Boom Gaspar as the keyboardist. And it\'s not as though our band was ever called the The Breakfast Quartet or PB4 (no relation to 90\'s movie CB4). They are what they are and have been since they OFFICIALLY changed their name two years ago. So yeah, let\'s call them as their name appears on the website, promotional material, and forthcoming album: THE BREAKFAST.
-
Indubitably!
-
Nobody is trying to change the name of the band or anything.....
I personally have been using "The Trio" or "B\'fast Trio" as a coping mechanism to get through this transitional period.....
VIVA EL TRIO DE DESAYUNO!!!!!
-
Yeah Whatever.
The Breakfast have always been 4 guys not three. Three is a trio and as the message on Jambands.com said they plan on auditioning keyboard players and returning to performing as a four piece band.
So if one wants to refer to this version of the band as The Breakfast cool, if they want to refer to the band as The Bfast Trio, The Trio ,those 3 guys that shred shit up ,whatever cool, it is a PERSONAL decision.
If I am talking to someone that knows about the band I refer to them as The Trio if they do not I say The Breakfast but always mention they are playing as a trio until they find another keyboard player.
This thread is useless. Sorry Dave but that\'s how I feel.
-
so they\'re a cover band. right? they\'re not The Breakfast, but they\'re playing all songs that The Breakfast wrote.. gotcha.
and what if they don\'t ever find a new keyboard player and decide to remain a 3-piece band? oh right, it won\'t matter cause you\'ll jump ship.
actually, we should just call them Trey... cause it\'s another word that means "three", and it\'s a much more awesome word... like deuce!
-
i think the reason people call them the trio now, is because power trio\'s fucking rock!
-
trio is easier to type than the breakfast. lazy stoners of the world, unite and take over!
actually, i agree, dave. but, if they do bring on another keys player, then this period is rightfully described as the trio time. however, if not, then bfast isn\'t that hard to type, either...

Never said they were not The Breakfast but they are a Trio right now and if they do decide to go at it as just a Trio and do not bring on a key player, you are right I will jump ship.
I am a fan of The Breakfast which to me needs 4 people.
I am not all about Tim playing both Keys and Guitar. It reeks of novelty and no matter what anyone says to me, I feel the less time his fingers have to play guitar strings, the more the band suffers. Plus the vocal element in my mind suffers way to much as a Trio. I will still be interested in the band but to me as a 3 piece thay are not the saviors of Rock and Roll they were.

Leith i think your ignorant, first off how can you post such claims without even hearing what they have to offer and secondly your a bag of douche for dismissing these guys abilities to carry on without Jordan. ya, I\'m gonna miss Jordan\'s soulful beltings but this isn\'t a blues quartet it\'s a freak\'n ROCK band. From what i witnessed at the Corner Pocket (being there first show) and confirmed by 10K Lakes these guys WILL make it bigger and better and you can go tread water with the rest of the rats.
Peace

I agree. I havent heard it but I think its LAME when a GUITAR player gets a keyboard to try to make up for lost keyboard fills. Reminds me of brothers past and when rezi lost thier keyboardist.
As for the trio stuff.......I dont have a problem with that....its not the breakfast anymore....the breakfast had four people....clarification is needed.
-
its not the breakfast anymore.
so you agree that tim, ron, and adrian are a cover band.
-
I think this whole thing is fuckin stupid, Call em whatever you want, they\'re still gonna ROCK the shnot outta every venue they play, even if you call them "Dirty Uncle Harry the Molester\'s Jug Band"
BTW: Leith way to stick by the guys in a transition period. That\'s all it took for you to jump ship?
-
It\'s my understanding that The Breakfast are performing as 3 piece simply out of necessity (sp?). What would have them do? Sit around and cry that Jordan left? Throw their arms in the air and wail "woe is us"? Quit?!?!?
They are making do. Which is what you do if you have any balls at all when faced with adversity.
-
i\'m just saying i think its ok to call em trio because they are a trio as of right now. its not a diz or anything...just a more accurate description.
guitarist playing keyboard is still lame tho!

The Breakfast Trio
After seven years and 1000 shows, keyboard player Jordan Giangreco is leaving The Breakfast. The band will tour as a trio for the near future....
:biggrin:
I don\'t call them "the breakfast trio," but i do sometimes call them "the trio." i don\'t see why thats a problem with you, dave. Calling them "the trio" is really the same thing as calling them "the band." but there already is a band called The Band, so why is calling them "the band" ok, but calling them "the trio" not ok?
-
no, see, the only The they are is The Breakfast. they are a trio and a band.
-
I don\'t call them "the" trio I just call it Trio. Is that better Dave? :D
But as I said before this whole thing is stupid, the gigs are booked as "The Breakfast" call em whatever you want, they\'re still gonna rock your socks off.
I guess what I"m saying is what\'s the deal if here amongst ourselves we refer to them as Trio or the trio or the breakfast trio? We all know they are still "The Breakfast"
-
i\'ve had a band member tell me that "we\'re gonna go with the trio for a while" for what that\'s worth.
-
I guess I really don\'t care much if people use the word trio or not along with the band name. The issue is not getting me that fired up. Two things to keep in mind though:
1. If this were a poll asking "Which name is cornier?" the vote would have to be "The Breakfast Trio." If this were a poll asking "Which name best streamlines the band\'s brand" the answer is clearly "The Breakfast."
2. If Tim, Ron, and Adrian are "The Breakfast Trio" then all Timmy shows are actually "The Breakfast Mono." Mono Tour Fo\' Life! :no:
-
we could call timmy shows the breakfast uno....but alZ would give it a thumbs down ;)
-
the thing is though I dont\' think we\'re actually calling them that (atleast I\'m not) more reffering to them, there is NO ARGUMENT they are The Breakfast, anyone who thinks differently is a bafoon. But I don\'t see the harm in offhandedly refering to them as the trio (or whatever) We\'re not lobbying for a name change here.
-
so has anyone actually tried out for keys yet or what

Ignorant? How? By knowing what I like? You are an idiot who obviously has no clue about life. Life brings changes. Some good and some bad. We take these changes in different ways as humans. The changes made are always done for reasons and reasons need to be lived with. The Breakfast have decided to tour as a trio this CHANGES the dynamics of the band and I have decided to be less interested for the reasons I listed.
You accuse me of dismissing their abilities you are even more of an ass than I thought. If you take a gander @ my posts about Jordan\'s departure you will see I have posted I believe they can make it as a trio and their abiltiy to do so has already been proven w/ GTB and Tomatotron AND to think different is silly.
Though I believe that, it does not mean I will still like what they put out musically as much as I did and that\'s my choice you fuck!
I will always support Tim, Adrian and Ron in whatever they do as I will support any Jordan efforts that I am near enough to. I just am not as into a trio as I am a quartet. No matter how much Tim shreds the keys it still takes away from him playing guitar and that I am just not down with. I fell in love w/ a four piece band and not a trio.
You are a dumbass.

WOW! Really? can we all join hands and sing together?
How bout a rousing rendition of Satan is my Shepard?

Well they have gotten a demo package from one guy I know of .

opinions are like assholes, everyone has one and they all stink
guys, are u all SER??? grow up --- everyone on this board loves the band & the music they put out... whatever you want to call them, go ahead and call them that. Leith, if you don\'t like the new band or want to at least try it out, do us all a favor and don\'t post on here anymore. Problem solved.
-
YES! I had a bet with 3 other .infoers that leith would be name-calling before the end of this thread. (Before he even made his first post!) You each owe me $2, you know who you are :) I still have one pending bet on Klout (Paperboy). Cmon Paperboy, make this my money day!
-
^^that\'s a bet I would not have taken......
-
i know you want to get insulted by me wolfman but I wanna see you beg for it.
-
the \'new\' breakfast \'trio\' is a far cry from a novelty act. if anything, the streamlined version of the band is even more intense and more rocking than any former set up. you better start taking them seriously, or else you\'re gonna miss out on something huge.
that being said, i don\'t know about any tryouts or whatever, but whoever does go for the 4th spot is gonna have to be better than jordan to make the grade. the breakfast can and will kickass as a \'trio\' and do not need a 4th person to maintain the badass sound that the breakfast has come to be.

i havent heard it yet but I find it hard to believe that they will last if they dont find a keyboarder. it may be more rocking and raging and streamlined at first but in the long run it will not be as good or full or complete or balanced. Chances of blowing up as a trio are slim especially if they try to do cheesey shit like make up for the keyboards with guitar loops and tim playing synth.
-
should they have stopped touring and being a band all together? Absolutely not! They are making the best of a bad situation.

actually i think it was me who started the name calling and i apologize to everyone who read that and especially to Leith, we aren\'t kids on a playground. BUTTTT for the limited time i have been part of this family i have grown an appreciation for everyone involved and will continue to defend everything Breakfast. And for a "fan" to come on here and say they will jump ship because one member decided to do something different and the band has to conform is blasphemous in my eyes, especially considering that person hasn\'t even heard what they have to offer. hey... if you give them and honest listen and say hey, these guys are good but it\'s not for me then jump but don\'t expect a life preserver or someone to jump in with you..... but i\'ll gladly give you a push......
sorry again everyone

agreed. i just think they should really push to get someone good in there asap. obviously dont settle for someone sub part but if the trio business drags out too long it wont be good/ the same exact thing happened to rezi and it was SWEET at first and lost its charm about 2 months later
-
anyone can think what they want, but until they stand in front of the stage for a couple hours and watch it all go down, then i don\'t care what they think will come of it. apparently its impossible to be a 3 piece and not a novelty act, i hope someone told that to medeski martin and wood, or cream, or the jimi hendrix experience.
the omission of jordan opens up a lot of space for the breakfast to grow. there\'s no longer the sound of musicians playing on top of eachother, and it gives tim even more room to just go off and be himself w/ holding anything back, and as a ser breakfast fan, thats what brought me to this band in the first place.
-
the same exact thing happened to rezi and it was SWEET at first and lost its charm about 2 months later
no offense to Rezi, but how long were they together? These guys have been playing together for more than 10yrs (all projects combined) that\'s gotta add a little weight to the situation. Again no offense to Rezi I really liked them...

Well I have decreased my posting since I first heard about the change in June. I will most likely only be an occasional poster as I do consider some of the folk on here friends and like to keep up on the crazee shennanigans they take part in.
As I have ALREADY posted I will continue to support the band but just because I am not as rabid about them as a trio I am ostersized? That I find ludicrous.
And yeah I may not have heard The Breakfast as a trio but I know enough about the way the 3 guys play to know I will not enjoy it as much. That\'s my deal not any one else\'s so let\'s leave it at that.

let me ask you this leith: was Jordan the only reason you listened to the band? Did you like the songs? The guitar? The drums? The Bass? I say atleast give them a chance.....

who gives a shit what our tightknit community is refering to them as when talking to one another?
dave, i hate to say it, but this is one of the silliest threads i\'ve ever seen. is everything okay?

we\'re well beyond that Jim, we\'re back to our regular old shenanigans of everyone arguing with leith, the more things change the more they stay the same....

What brought me to the band was the combination of FOUR unique talents melding into something new,original and exciting in music.
How many times do I have to say I will still support the band before any of you listen?
Just because I do not have the blind faith that it will rock my world as some of you seem to have does not mean I think it will be bad just not as exciting for me.
Yes Jordan was a huge part of my love for this band. I happen to LOVE Keyboard playing in this type of music(improv rock ,jam). Big reason I dig other bands that have keys.
I think Tim is one of the best GUITAR players in the WORLD. Having him play key fills and such diminishes the guitar playing and that I do not like. I want to see Tim play guitar not keys. Plain as that.

I have seen it, so therefore there is no \'blind faith\' involved. nothing is being taken away from tim\'s guitar playing. its all there, just w/ the occaisional key intro or solo. tim is an amazing guitarist, and being such makes him an amazing musician, i have no doubt that any instrument he picks up can be mastered in no more than a few wednesday nights.
more often than not, you couldn\'t even hear jordan in the mix anyways. the rare occaision you could, it would either be a great thing, or it would just be him playing on top of everyone else. making the sound more of a mashed hodge podge than a clear audible well oiled machine of a band.
-
who gives a shit what our tightknit community is refering to them as when talking to one another?
Seriously. I still call them Psychedelic Breakfast most of the time and when I actually take the time to remember they changed their name I call them "Breakfast" instead of "THE Breakfast".
who really gives a shi\'ite. We all know who we\'re talking about.
And if you want my 2 cents I think its BS that all the fans weren\'t notified that Beardslee was gonna be Jordan\'s last show. AND, they should get a new keyboard player ASAP. Keyboards are key... tee hee

Jordan being unhearable was a big reason I spent my time @ shows directly in front of him as much as possible and it was not him just playing over the others. He always had something interesting to play as long as one took the time to listen.
Tim playing key intros or solos is even more reason for me to think I will not like it as much as I like keys to be played through the whole song and unless Tim has grown another arm or 2 I don\'t think that is going to happen w/o another player.
-
First off, if you haven\'t seen and heard the current incarnation of The Breakfast (which is currently a three-piece) you have no leg to stand on. Because with the new setup (from stage right) Adrian (45degree slant inward facing the band), Ron, and Tim, it is the perfect display of power and talent.
As far as what Klout is saying about Tim trying to make up for the loss of Jordan, I gotta say you are completely 100% wrong, and wait till you hear it. This is more than a three-piece or a power trio. The Breakfast will soon be taking over the world, mark those words....And if there is a suitable keyboard player out there.....The band will welcome him...but I believe that is the BIGGEST "IF" going right now.
At first I thought that there was no way that this band could be called The Breakfast as a three piece. I have since changed my tune (as of the Corner Pocket show), because, they ARE THE FUCKING BREAKFAST.
Though every song they have written to date has been for a four piece band, trust me when I say that you will get every orafice of your face FUCKED HARD when you see this new incarnation of THE BREAKFAST

i just think they should really push to get someone good in there asap.
wow. i think that would be the biggest mistake they could possibly make.. just throw a good keyboard player in there and everything will be ok, right? you gotta be kidding me..
um, not only do they need to find someone GOOD, but they need to find someone who can learn their tunes, play their tunes, hold his/her own jamming with them, possibly relocate, have a personality that fits in with the band (both on stage and off), is able to tolerate and be tolerated for hours/days at a time in the van/on the road, etc, etc, etc...
these are all factors that will go into the selection process, i\'m sure. if you think The Breakfast is going to have a new keyboard player by the end of next week, you are sadly mistaken.

Oh and dont forget willing to work for peanuts....literally......I have been working for the band for 3 months and wont shit for 3 years thanks to the stash of peanuts I have amassed....
oh. and i wouldnt trade it for the world ....

who gives a shit what our tightknit community is refering to them as when talking to one another?
dave, i hate to say it, but this is one of the silliest threads i\'ve ever seen. is everything okay?
yeah maybe it\'s kind of silly, and i\'m not talking about referring to the band as a trio, because they clearly are (as much as they were a quartet before), but i\'ve just been seeing "The Breakfast Trio" thrown around a lot here lately, like it\'s some sort of side project.. it\'s not.. it\'s the real deal. and it might be easy to lose sight of that (which some apparently have) during this period...
oh, and if "everyone knows who you\'re talking about anyways", then why say "The Breakfast Trio" to begin with?? :confused:
-
i agree they should be called the breakfast and not the breakfast trio because the songs they play are breakfast songs. in fact i think they only played 2 covers since jordan left, both zappa songs. but, when i see breakfast fans as their first show without jordo i ask them what do they think of the trio, because it is different. all i have to say is that 10,000 lakes opened my eyes just a tab bit more, making me realize just how lucky i really am to be with these guys. whether they are a 3 piece or 4 piece, they are the best band touring right now

I spent the weekend in CT and spoke to some old friends. And just to state this early and often THIS IS JUST WHAT I HEARD!!! I DO NOT KNOW IF IT IS TRUE SO TAKE IT FOR WHAT IT IS WORTH!!!!!!!!!! Since MOE is involved in the search I heard that Al from MOE has suggested the dude from Al and the Transamericans which would be al\'s side project. I believe he is the same guy from a band called Free beer and chicken. If it is the same guy he is really solid. I believe al has been overheard saying that he is the best key player he has played with. I have seen Free beer and chicken a bunch of times and I am telling you that he is one of the best key players I have ever heard!! And I have seen alot of key players over the years. Well that should keep the rumors flying but like previously stated i don\'t know if it is true or not. How about you Dave any word along those lines?
Next topic. I can\'t wait to see my next Breakfast show. I love breakfast shows. I can\'t wait for the next breakfast album and then the next breakfast show after that. I can\'t wait to hang and party with all the breakfast fans and the breakfast themselves. Because THE BREAKFAST ROCKS!!!!I hope you all get the point.
The breakfast is the best touring band on the scene right now and nothing will change my opinion of that. The 50 shows on disk in my car will atest to that. Even if adrian and tim want to go out as the breakfast then they are the breakfast. Sorry to dissapoint all you trio fans. It doesn\'t mater what size the ship is it is if you know how to sail that bitch.
Trey is a jedi but Tim is a wizard!
-
trey is an overhyped joke of a guitarist, but thats neither here nor there.
i\'m just excited to hear/see the breakfast. end of story.

Kirk Juhas is the man you speak of. He actually toured w/ moe. as their temporary 6th member in the Fall of 2000 and has played random gigs w/ the Transamericans between then and now. I saw them 2 weeks ago, and it was a great time. Kirk does a great job on organ and keys, but not so sure about his history w/ the synth, but I wouldn\'t mind seeing him try out the Jordan role. He can sing and harmonize as well.

kirk is a mainstay in the Transamericans.

that was me, gregg, that posted that earlier. and yes, he is a permanent member, but its not like its a regularly touring band or anything. thats kinda what i was getting at.
-
i don\'t see kirk juhaus relocating to CT for no money. i think he has a family and roots in upstate NY. he\'s a fair bit older than our guys i think. i\'m not seeing it at all. great player though. he was camped right next to my little compound last year. i will ask him in a month what he thinks!

i just dont see the big deal about trey after 1994 or so. but like i said, that\'s neither here nor there. one guy\'s opinion.
-
^^^^ what are ya, Nuts ???
-
Phish sucks
-
no i\'m not nuts, i just think he got very lazy and did not at all live up to his potential as a musician. many many many musicians suffer from this. it gets to the point wher you could go up on stage and fart into a didgeridoo for 3 hours and people would still go crazy and love it, and because of this artists feel like they dont need to try as hard anymore.
-
no i\'m not nuts, i just think he got very lazy and did not at all live up to his potential as a musician.
you are talking like hes dead or lost both his arms or something.....
the guy has all the money and time in the world, not to mention a family and drug problem....jesus guy....Trey still PME #2 right behind Good Ole Jer....
-
the drug addiction probably has a lot to do with it. and pardon my wording, has not lived up to his potential. and yea i think after phish really got majorly successful, he didn\'t try as hard. his compositions got much thinner and his playing got more sloppy and less thought out. i\'m not saying he\'s not a great musician, i\'m just saying that he lets me down since i know he\'s capable of way more.
-
Fair enough Cobby.....Fair enough.
See ya later...
-
i look foward to it.
-
i whole-heartedly agree with jimcobb, but, to my great surprise, was impressed by his performance at all good. mostly because when he was left behind by mike and the duo, he got out of their way and came back in once he actually had something to contribute.
-
Everybody knows Phish was an underachieving band. As for Al and the Transamericans, they are clearly the worst band to ever play a gig in the history of the universe. It surprised me considering all the members, especially Al, are so talented and such great players. But the Transamericans were basically a shitty blues/ folk derivative band, with no jamming whatsoever, and endless crappy folk lyrical slow songs and ballads.
-
not sure if anyone checked out jambase.com today, but under the news highlights is the official jordo press release. it\'s good to see some decent recognition

Yeah staying together for 20+ years, being signed by a major label, reinventing the music festival (influencing the folks that began Bonnaroo) and oh yeah they were the ONLY band that was able to "carry the torch" as it were when GD stopped playing IS pretty damn underacheiving alright.
As for the Transamericans nvr heard \'em.
-
underachieving in a business sense and underachieving in a musical sense are two TOTALLY different ballgames and you know this leith, so dont pull that crap.
sorry. i\'m still tired. but you know i\'m right.
-

sorry. i\'m still tired. but you know i\'m right.
Yeah OK whatever. If they were underacheiving musically why did 10\'s of thousands still show up after 1994? Because they were the best band around. Writing Junta, Lawn Boy, Picture of Nectar, Rift, and then Hoist is underacheiving musically how? As for AFTER 1994 Billy Breathes, Story of the Ghost AND Farmhouse are all excellent albums.
Somehow I just do not see how Trey or the rest of the band could be even close to underacheiving.
Now if you want to talk about post Phish Trey underacheiving I would say you had a decent argument.
Oh and if Page had left Phish and they continued how many of you would have still called them Phish if they kept the name? Be truthful.
-
I\'d called them the trio or Phish three.
-
Pisces plus one
-
1. How\'d this become the bitch about Phish thread?
2. How confusing would it be if a band changed it\'s name everytime the lineup changed? Grateful Dead? RHCP?
3. This is a moot point b/c they found their new 4th last night.
She\'s not a keyboard player... more of a vocalist/skanky dancer...

I truely believe the band would excel with a skanky stage dancer. I thought the stipping monkey would have been a great addition.
-
leith, i\'m not talking about phish underachieving, i\'m talking about trey underachieving. his performances became sloppy and his compositions became lazy.
-
trey was pretty good when he had his Trey Anatasio (sp) band. Saw them a few times they were great but I am no musical genus but in my mind his musical compositions didn\'t seem to be that extravagant
-
original TAB was the shit

original TAB was the shit

I\'m not sure if I saw the original lineup or what but they definitely rocked pretty hard

1. What? R U new? This IS .info yo.
2. I agree but it seems to me they are going full force to make the trio work and I highly doubt a keyboard player is of real importance to them no matter what is written in print about finding another one. I think they really need to promote the band as a 3 piece to help differentiate between when they had Keys and now. Just my opinion.
3. LOL

I\'m gonna make a cameo appearance to say one thing: you\'re wrong...
And I don\'t mean it in an assholish way. I just wanted to inform you of things you may or may not have heard by the red bearded arpeggiated guitar god.
Please get back to me when you\'ve made an album of this caliber.

and please listen to "Goodbye Head" and tell me that Trey isn\'t composing to his potential..
-
i don\'t think its a matter of him composing to his potential, so much as his composition style changing and maturing as he gets older. nothing wrong w/ that, just not gonna impress the people who were impressed by the original compositions the way they used to be.
-
trey fell off.
if your trying to argue otherwise you dont know what your talking about
-
of course he did, but to ignore what he\'s produced the past several years is crazy.
-
if i\'d ignored it, i wouldn\'t be able to take the stance i\'m taking.
-
Can we please rename this thread to "hi. can we drop the \'Trio\' crap please? and start one of the most moronic and go nowhere arguments to ever grace the world wide web. thanks"

if i\'d ignored it, i wouldn\'t be able to take the stance i\'m taking.
So his classical compositions and arranging skills arent up to his potential? pppshhhhhaaaaawwww

i\'m not saying the guys is crap! i\'m saying that i\'ve seen him do stuff that has really impressed me, and he is put up on a pedastel these days as if he is still doing things like that and he\'s not.

friend, i mean this with all due respect, as little as that may be: fuck you.
i\'m done with this thread, i don\'t need to be told my opinion is wrong. and not once in this thread did i claim to be a better musician than trey, so you can take your douchebaggy comments elsewhere. even if you say "i don\'t mean to be an asshole", you\'re still an asshole.

It takes three legs to make a tripod or to make a
table stand
It takes three wheels to make a vehicle called
a tricycle
Every triangle has three corners
Every triangle has three sides
No more, no less
You don\'t have to guess
When it\'s three you can see it\'s a magic number
A man and a woman had a little baby
Yes, they did
They had three in the family
And that\'s a magic number
3-6-9, 12-15-18, 21-24-27, 30
3-6-9, 12-15-18, 21-24-27, 30
Now, the multiples of three
Come up three times in each set of ten
In the first ten you get 3, 6, 9
And in the "-teens" ten it\'s 12, 15, and 18
And in the "twenties" you get 21, 24, 27
And it comes out even on 30
Now multiply backwards from three times ten
3 x 10 is 30
3 x 9 is 27
3 x 8 is 24
3 x 7 is 21
3 x 6 is 18
3 x 5 is 15
3 x 4 is 12
And 3 x 3 is 9
And 3 x 2 is 6
And 3 x 1 is 3 of course
Now dig the pattern once more
Three! 3-6-9
Twelve! 12-15-18
Twenty-one! 21-24-27, 30
Yeah, thirty
Now multiply from 10 backwards
3 x 10 is 30 (keep goin\')
3 x 9 is 27
3 x 8 is 24
3 x 7 is 21
