In 1974, in a 'flea market' in Sydney I picked up a book entitled "Everything you need to know about Music Theory" Published 1922. It was the size of a paperback, by a bloke called E Danson- and had exactly 12 pages!!
Talk about "Explain the Meaning of Life in 15 minutes!!" I still have it somewhere. (I think!) That's my favourite Wacky Theory Book! Cheers K in OZ Keith Helgesen.

I must say, after reading it a couple of times, I am not too sure the author really knows what he wants to say... and I have seen some of the music at the University of Queensland 20 years ago. It did make me do an arrangement of Ornithology where the key changed every bar (Started in G and added 1 sharp per bar and then subtracted a flat every bar.) Very modal and somewhat difficult to solo over :-) Bruce Petherick _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale -- No virus found in this incoming message.
