This whole thread just brings a song to my heart.

The tenor of this thread is beyond belief.
-
I shall refrain from commenting on your off-key remark, and simply say that this interlude has been quite melodic for me.

The root problem is, our submediant discussion based on the merits of the harmonica fail to take into account the perfect fifth that is reduced to that of an diminished fifth.
The result leaves us feeling bluesy.
To complicate matters, we have to alter the upper extensions. These sometimes create suspensions that simply have to be resolved.
I've got some tonic to go along with that diminished fifth. Any takers?

By the way--How do you know a harmonica player is on your porch?
He doesn't have the key and doesn't know when to come in...
-
When that harmonica player finally figures out how to come through the do', he can hang up da cap-o on the rack on the wall.
He'll be trilling with happiness to come in out of the rain.
Trust me. I know these things. :evillaugh:

Naw, all they have to do steal the note value from the previous note. Kinda like politicians, only not such a bad turn, actually.
The whole thing is as slippery as a glissando, though, I have to tell you.
