I have to say that in my mind when playing, I treat B# as C, Cb as B, and so on.
Perhaps I'll eventually get used to the proper spellings.
Thanks Gordon, I struggle with the same. What I see emerging for me is "two brains".

I'm see much value in the "strict" proper spellings (double sharps, etc.) from a music theory perspective. To the degree that I can grasp this, it will allow much better communication with others and perhaps better composition of my songs . . . "Brain 1"

But when I pick up my bass and jam along to a backing track, or better yet with friends, I'm thinking fretboard geometry/patterns, what sounds good to my ears and having fun . . . "Brain 2"

I wonder if the twain will ever meet smile
For sure it's a journey.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
