OK, so we'd played the night before at the Bluegrass Barn
Jam in Rosine and we were on our way to check in at the "Big
E" (that's the Executive Inn in Owensboro, KY). The Pests were
squawking about being hungry, per usual, so I dropped them of
at the Dairy Queen. While the Pests downed a quick lunch, I
grabbed a few instrumental odds & ends from the van and
walked across the parking lot to the building with the huge
sign, "Consumers Mall". It's one of those former discount
stores, now indoor flea market which are popping up across the
land in abandoned K- Marts, grocery stores and so on. One of
the missions of our little band was the rescue of abused
and/or neglected guitars, which we found on our journeys and
there was a candidate for rescue inside.

Some guitars are just too strange for most people to take,
so they don't. They sit there at the back of the rack forever,
daring you have the cahones. That's what this Morris Custom
did to me for about a year. It sat up in the most wonderful
guitar shop ever called Torresdale Music, a tiny corner
storefront in the working-class Philly neighborhood that
shared the name. Torresdale was like something out of Dickens,
with amps crammed around the perimeter and high in the center
and guitars hanging or stacked everywhere else. Owner Marvin
Povernik scoured flea markets and thrift shops to find his
stock and it was impressive.

Awful as it sounds, it's the truth. But don't let it scare
you off. The highest number I've ever heard in the context of
music is 13, so you don't have to be a genius to figure it
out. There are two basic numbering systems in music. One has
to do with the scale, the other with the key. Let's look at
the numbers relating to the scale first. There are seven notes
in the scale. Simple enough. The order of intervals, or
spaces, between these 7 notes is what makes it unique. The
formula, as we should all know by now is Tone, Tone, semitone,
Tone, Tone, Tone, semitone.
