Subject:fingering

I've been studying organ w/Ken Clark (www.kcot.net). He showed me an
interesting approach to fingering b Keys (a bit more difficult then
just fingering blues...):

basically you always want to play C's and F's with your thumb. Note
that in some keys these will be Cb or Fb but it matches the arch of
your hand to assymetry of a piano keyboard. It also leads to better
ring finger technique.

The easiest example is to play in Bb, start fingering w/your 4th
finger on the Bb and then hit the C with your thumb. and make sure
you also hit the F w/your thumb.

Try it in all the b keys-- I find it is very interesting for runs and
riffs and solves the "running out of fingers on a long run" problem
or not being able to reverse directions on a run.
