Greetings all,

Actually, when I practice a new tune on my washboard for the band, I play it
in all twelve keys! That way, I increase my musical powers and am ready in
case the leader calls for modulating the key in the course of a performance
which happens often.

As a result, I can play in F# as easily as I can in concert C.  It's what we
dedicated washboard players do.

Respectfully submitted,
