amazing slow downer and song keys

I saw on one of Dave's lessons with Joe that you can use the amazing slow downer to change the key
of a song.
Does this mean if you load any song into this software you can know the key and change it
using the software.
If this correct can anyone tell me how to find out what key a song is in using this software and
also how can you change the key of the song so you can jam using cross harp
I saw in the help screen that you can do this by change in the pitch.
If a song is in the key of E how do you change it to the key of C

I'm new to the site and love it so far. I've been playing a couple of years and just found this site. As a pucker player, I am having to start over and learn lip blocking and am on the very beginning "walk with me". Is there a search engine on bluesharmonica.com or can someone tell me where to find the tremelo/vibrato study? Thanks

Does anyone know of any harp players that use a modal or Bo Diddley beat? I know about Hand Jive and Roller Coaster from a previous post but if anyone can think of anything else I would be appreciative.
Thank you,
Taylor

IPad app

Just downloaded and played around with "forScore". Downloads music scores, let's you annotate them - a portable book of music. I downloaded several of the PDF's from the lessons here that I'm working on. I can play the MP3 while following the music on my IPad when on the road. Looks really good.

Thought I'd passit on. Worth checking out IMHO

Just got an announcement from Harrison today that says they are going out of business. I guess they are selling the design of the B-Radical to another company.

If he was blind why did he wear glasses? Was he only partially blind?
