Thanks for that little gem, Michael!

I like my theory in small, easy-to-swallow doses. ;-)

Earthquake sez:

For my esteemed colleague Mr Brooks-
There is more than one "blues" scale. The one that I will divulge, free of 
charge to y'all is this one:
More of a major sound, very ueful in R & B, Pop, Country, Swing Blues
Over a C, C7, C6:

C D Eb E G A C

1 b3 3 5 6 1

this scale is a mode (same notes, new starting place) of the traditional 
(more minor sounding) blues scale
on the releatve minor (6th degree/note) of C:
play over A7, Amin, Amin7
A C D Eb E G A

All you can eat theory served all night at a website or listserve near you!
Harp players need to eat more of this stuff for a healthy musical life.
