Ooops.  This is pretty much a D'oh factor.
Thanks for pointing this out.

By the way, I appreciate music theory.  I believe one of the aspect to
be creative is to break the rule, but you can't do that unless you, not
just know it but understand the rule and its background.  Coltrane was
keep hitting the avoid note on his blues, over and over.  I bet he won't
do that if he didn't know it's the avid note.  There is a line between
'creative' and 'wrong'.  The wrong usually comes from ignorance and/or
luck of discipline.
