Well, I'm just sort of kidding, but if you, like most of us ol' farts, grew up (musically) without a transpose key, you tended to learn all the songs in the 'original' key. If you were/are a great player (I'm not), it wasn't a big problem but for most of us, if a vocalist (or E-playing guitar player) wanted to play the tune in a different key, we were, at the least, annoyed . Of course things were equally bad for those keyboard players who played everything in C (and literally WILLED the transpose button into existence ). chas

FWIW, and I don't know how this works, but I'm happy in the keys of C, D, E, F, G, and A. Okay, all bar one of them contains #'s and b's, so I'm playing other than all white keys. However, if someone calls for a tune in C#, Eb, F#, Bb, or even B, I'm diving for the transpose button. I ain't above that.
