How can there be only eight ways to start a song? Does anyone theorize this assumption is grounded in delusion? I would imagine so! I cannot type or ten-key. However; the forgoing logic encourages me to speculate: any ninth way, (or-tenth, etc...) might already be or a long time ago, have-been brewed up by a band of keyboard players; furthermore, and more possibly-likely, been drummed up out of boredom by bored drummers! One need not seize a key and experiment to discover the correct indicators in this context! Although it might help us if we can fathom that this theory may have a shard of truth, if light is brought to bear by removing a bushel from our heads. We might eliminate a great measure of congestion also by getting all of our heads out of that bushel and thinking! Hopefully, our drums will hear and be heard without everybody making HARD WAX with their keys and/or sticks in unison. Not as a bitter pill for musical theorists. However; as it were; but it is; sugar, pop.
