auto-tune

No, Artie busted me good. That's probably what I was thinking about,
a C7, but there was no C7 except in my imagination.
No big thang, it's one of the "blue notes" man, you're just playin' a
little jazz with it, that's all.
I was watching one of Ken Burns' jazz specials on PBS last night. There
was one scene with a tenor sax player and and a trumpet playing a line
togther - I forget who they were - but one of them was out of tune with
the other, and after a phrase or two, the tenor player reaches up and
adjusts his mouthpiece back some small amount, and continues.
That's the kind of thing that's largely missing in pop music today.
Everyone tunes to a tuner and forgets listening, or worse they can't
tell if someone's out of tune. Technology's creating a lot of musical
cripples.
