Tell you what - we agree.

The next time we hear someone singing the chords and leaving out the tune - he gets a smack in the mouth. No arguments. Its a betrayal of the tradition all right.

And I tell you something else, its those bloody augmented 7ths that get to me. They think they're SO superior, and really they're just chords. Common as muck notes cohabiting in intimate proximity with each other.

we don't need that sort of thing.

Next thing they produce triplets, and who's paying for it......
