Ralph:

Erroll Garner (Misty, of course!) was asked one time, if his inability
to read music fluently (it was virtually all by ear) didn't bother him.
His reply was: "No one ever hears you read the notes"! In other words,
in the end, all that matters is the nusic, itself. Likewise, whatever
names we might use to describe the harmonic devices we're using, aren't
nearly as important as HOW we use them. The music's the thing. Always.
