Good for you Brad. These gung-ho music types (and I don't mean that to be
derogatory) need the history lesson even if it chokes them to get it down.
"Test in the morning, folks".

OTOH, many of our 'naturals' never got anywhere near a class like that, and
have made millions. But those 'naturals' also are quite likely to have
learned it on their own just because its part of the legacy of the field
they produce new music in.
