Right on, Rick.
First came the music. Then came the academics to try to explain the music.
To approach it from the opposite direction can be a frustration, as the mind
tries to ask for more and more analysis details to try to reconstruct what was
natural music in the first place.

I would say that trying to define the 'blue third' or blue anything else for

not a great idea in my opinion (I don't like what that's done to jazz either)
It's a vernacular form, like all folk music. The best way to 'define' it is
to work out what sounds good to you at any given time, and go for that; the
flatter, the darker, the dirtier.
