Don-- I just cut & pasted your last post--what you said about modes and "corrections" was very helpful to me in my present state of "learning(??)." I don't agree that the Dorian mode is all that common, though. The only person I can think of who ever used it was Oscar Wilde. (Seriously, now I really am going to have to find the passage where Plato discusses the effects/value/morality of the different modes.) FreshTricks-- Wonder of wonders, my local library actually has the Sacks book. It sounds fascinating & I'm off to get it as soon as they get around to opening. Thanks for that, too. Chicken Charlie
