Subject: RE: Hey, You! Get Off Of My Note!
Getting over it, and learning something in the process of exploring it, may not be exactly the same thing.

I don't think Jerry is just reacting to something being different. I think he's wondering HOW and WHY it is different. I think it's going to invoilve learning how these doo-woppers think and sing. I think ultimately it will turn out to be about melody lines, not chords <>per se. By this, I mean that it is a situation that presents itself as a chordal challenge but I think he will find that in the doo wop, it's about where each singer's line is moving (line), more than where they are at any given moment (chord).
