@crazy4blues Yes, that's almost exactly the same as what Charles Ives dad used to say to his son. Classical music / jazz, they're very close sometimes.

True story: I met Thelonious Monk, Jr. in Italy, and he said that his daddy said this: "If you play a note that sounds wrong, just keep playing it until it sounds right." I'm not kidding. That's what Monk's son said!
You can't get cooler then this man. You just can't.

Hey Plax!...this is the way they composed their music...colaberation....they are creating the music together! ... c# .. b.natural?...Monk says "yeah...whatever....he trusted Charlie to pick his notes on the tune...'cuz Charlie was in "tune" with Monk....co-creators of wonderful sounds...there is nothing plastic about it...that's what they used to do in rehearsals...it's the real deal!!! peace...love...bop!!! creating!
