<<     This is also a rather unusual example, an artist who explicitly states
 that he "wants all his chords to sound the same".  Most performers, I submit,
 still believe in the concept of "key color".  They want it, they expect it
but
 are also admittedly confused about the issue of temperament.  There can never
 be a "one size fits all".

Ed & Bill,

Having tuned for Ronnie a couple of times, as I'm sure ya'll have, I found him
to be very discriminating, regarding beats in unisons, fourths and fifths.
Don't ask me how I know! I was told by his road manager that Ronnie had some
training in piano tuning early on. Anyhow, I personally feel if you can tune
for Mr. Millsap and make him happy, you have done well. Or should I say done
equal?
