I understand all the mnemonic devices were created to make music "easier to read" but how long do you need to rely on Every Good Boy Does Fine?
6 flats is Gb major. Arrange enough big band charts and key signatures and on the fly transposition come very quickly.
I saw part of NCIS last night and David Carradine was a washed-up singer who'd left the stage for quite a while. His manager arranged a gig and when it was time to hit the stage, he had stage fright. One of the agents said "Go on! How hard can it be? It only has three chords!" and he became a bit indignant because "It has four!".
