Okiemockbird. A D major chord contains a G#? What did I miss this time?Just for fun I'm gonna try to call the key for a tune modally, and see what kind of gut-splitting laughs I get from the band. The reality in my limited world has been that we try to simplify things to major keys as a matter of reflex, even when we know better, and don't play everything in major keys no matter what we call them. This used to irritate me, but I realize that not everyone is as anal as me about theory, particularly those who have better ears than me. As a result, most often Em even gets called G. Oh well, so long as the participants all understand what's going on...
