. Let us all strive to discuss music positively and joyously, and not
as a pissing contest.

I think the most important word in that last sentence
is "music",and while we poor humans must find language to convey
concepts,ideas,(or chords?),once the data is sent and received I
personally choose to focus on the function of my newly aquired
knowledge,not the symantics.
I was once on a gig where,during a fairly up-tempo song (I was
seeing it for the first time) I encountered a chord , lasting only
two bars that read:
C (bb maj7)
And while theoretically correct,the MD could have gotten a
smoother performance by using the enharmonic ( Bb maj7).So who
benifitted by this staunch adherence to theoretical correctness?
No one. This was a GUITAR CHORD CHART....not a 17-stave
score...and I personally feel the "speed bump" was nothing more than
ego fodder for the author.
So I must agree Doug..(or should I say
Moses ?).Hopefully,now that yuo've parted the red sea,we can all
pass through easily enough to enjoy the journey we all signed up
for......learning music!!!!
