have you heard about B flat?
Musicians joke about C being The People’s Key, but apparently the Universe is in B-flat. When this story came on Morning Edition this morning, I couldn’t leave the kitchen. Standing there with a cup of coffee, grinning at the ideas, groaning at the singing.

I played this with my two dogs in attendence. Both of them cocked their heads and widened their eyes each time the resonance kicked in. Maybe I'll starting playing more in B-flat to get them humming along.

Ah, empirical evidence! That's great.
I notice that, although I assure the cats that drums actually encompass all keys, including B flat, they still hate it when I practice. Everyone's a critic.
