i couldn't have done the same song. because it's in a higher key and it sounds great. now onto the ultimate insult... "That's just for people too lazy to transpose, no?" you do not realize you have just said that about a legitimate learned musician. maybe you just don't understand musicians maybe i have misread you? no given that you have written: "Otherwise, you could have plays this same song a few days ago, albeit down three half-steps, no?". i don't understand your motive for posting what you did. remove my account if you will, i just want to get this out of the way. this is why i wrote a previous entry entitled "a thought occurs", because when i share i always get hurt.
