Thing is, Tony, he doesn't stay on ANY key for more than one verse. Not even the first. Darin's version has two verses in the original key, then five 1/2 step transpositions and the end. No solos, no nothing. My guy just keeps going, and going, and going! You never know HOW many times he's going to keep modulating...

As I noted earlier, though, I normally don't use the t'pose button (I've been playing for donkeys years before there ever WERE transpose buttons!) and have played this one many many times before, but this thread kind of made me think about the issue, and that's why I tried it that way...
