Hello David.  I am stumped on the Key Reed uses for "Honest I Do"  (The very Best Of Jimmy Reed) from Ear Training Position study.    It is in First Position and based on my research should be in Key of A however using the C Major Pentatomic Scale it sounds horrible.  The only key that came close was Bb.  Any suggestions?  Thanks, Mic
