I got a chuckle out of the above. I joined my first wedding band in 1970 and the leader was a saxophonist. I had to learn how to play in all of the flat keys. Eb is one of the hardest keys for a guitarist to play, that is until you really learn it. Luckily I could read music so that helped.

PS - I still have one of those original "illegal" fake books! I had to buy one so I could practice in those darn flat keys!

Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer.
