I would disagree

sevenths are sweet

flatted fifths are blue

plus the tension between the sixth and seventh

remind me to nine ya with a possible queery..
a seventh is blue and could often be eerie...
and yet there are thirds and the diminished gifts
with com-posite sequence in parallel fifths.

but don't get me wrong, bob,
i'm sure you can tell...
my theory's a shot in the dark –
what the hell?

honk-keys
the major seventh is a chick drink;
ninths will do for chitlins
but the flat 5
and leading tone
to minor is the
real, a chopin pall
with a few arabic
chants ala Debussy

You opinion. Tell me that again after you listen to Interstate Rag, my arrangement of your own Qualude Lady or D.S. &V. Or perhaps another listen to The Muse? Case rested.

Flatted fifths are stock and work on you, but a vibrato and slur (or Glis) to the 7th is where I feel the blue.

I like dancing fifths. Got a homage to Wes as a tag on the B4U CD on the tune Pause In Life.

i got dem old cablebluebeats
complete with gershwin-tensed
credible-flats - and if that ain't good enough,
honkytonk vibratos can slur this to that.

when 7ths are blue,
there am i.
there are you.

and fifths can't compete
with a sweet
rendezvous.

there's nuthin'
to remember
in a chord
without
blues.

but this ain't news.
nope. this ain't news.

Arthur C. Clarke on tsunami
On his website, author and inventor Sir Arthur C. Clarke -- who lives in Sri Lanka -- says:

Thank you for your concern about my safety in the wake of Sunday’s devastating tidal wave. I am enormously relieved that my family and household have escaped the ravages of the sea that suddenly invaded most parts of coastal Sri Lanka, leaving a trail of destruction.

But many others were not so fortunate. For hundreds of thousands of Sri Lankans and an unknown number of foreign tourists, the day after Christmas turned out to be a living nightmare reminiscent of The Day After Tomorrow.

He's safe!
o mannnn

my daughter's boyfriend's safe as well.
He's now teaching english in an orphanage.
my daughter will no doubt feel the call of genuine work that needs to be done and will rush over there.

(or not)

what would you do if you could?
would you offer to clean up the mess? rehabilitate devastated people?

what would i do if i had no family here? Is there an opportunity here to re-balance our energies? Extract a little humdrum out of western mindset and mobilize for the sake of the eastern world?

diminished 5ths are black or sepia
suspended 2nds are blue

minor 7ths are red. My favourite chord

I think a major 7th is kinda green. "My Head Is My Only House Unless It Rains" by Beefheart has some great use of it, shifting legato-wise from it to a 5th

All I can do is what I've done: care and sent a donation to the American Red Cross.

Looks like disease is next over there. Authorities say that could kill as many or more than the first event.

yes 50,000 dead bodies will bring on infestations. Massive energetic changes are going on.

Plus the emotional charges.
There's going to be further shifts.
