Seize your nerdiness, Janet.
Some may consider us weird, but I prefer to think of us as eccentric.
The thing with knowledge and understanding is the more you have, the more you want.
My basic tenet: The more you know, the more you know you don't know.
Read on.

"The more you know, the more you know you don't know."


So true!  :)

Nerd?

(Just don't ask me about the spreadsheet I created showing every possible scale made from the 12 usual notes AND the names of each along with their modes...  Nerd indeed!)

Quite possibly.

With regards to the "invention" of the scale in Howard Goodalls "Big Bang" series, the start of which can be located here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgQptKXzcTY , he gives a very interesting explanation.

It's up on one of my websites, but my ISP dorked up something yesterday and I'm now getting a 500.19 IIS error on everything.  They're still working on it (it's not that hard - they changed a permission somewhere and it needs to be fixed - *Sigh*).

uh... I also keep a couple of books by John Owen on hand. I've read most of Thomas Watsons work and I've read and I re-read Walter Marshall's masterpiece from the late 16th century.

I find them helpful...

I recently got the book "Hearing and Writing Music.'  Must have seen it referenced somewhere here...don't remember.  I'm only up to chapter 3, but they're talking about how the scale was 'invented.'  You know, I've been wondering about that (and how they first figured out how to write music on staves) for awhile...and find it fascinating, although a little tough to get around this simple brain of mine. 

But I feel like a music nerd, spending part of my Saturday afternoon reading this.  :)  

(but I also figured some of you could possibly relate.)  :) 


Janet, why would you ask a bunch of music nerds that question? So why isn't there a #&b between 3&4?

Because sometimes we sound like Charlie Browns parents to the people around us, and it's kind of nice to know you guys are out there.
Is that about right, Janet?
