Hi Wally,
I have put the following little story elsewhere, but it would seem appropriate to post it again here:
We once had a pianist from an orchestra staying at our hotel, and he asked me to play something to him on the organ. I wasn't too keen on doing that (playing to a real musician!), but eventually played him a Glen Miller tune. While he was listening, he asked me what key I was playing it in, as he said I was playing it in the wrong key. Well, I knew I was playing it in G. G chord; D7 chord etc. So told him I was playing it in G. "No you're not", he said. "You're playing it in A." Then I realised I had the Transpose button up two notches, so was effectively playing it in A. He said the tune I was playing was written for Bb, and he couldn't listen to it in A, as it drove him scatty. So I transposed the organ up another semitone, and then it was fine with him.
