You are correct.
A band I played in back in the day got a new trumpet player. So, one night he takes a solo and plays and plays and plays without taking a breath. I ask him about it during our break and he said he had studied circular breathing. He would have enough air in his mouth to sustain a note while inhaling though his nose. Weird

When was America great? Different times for different groups.
I think right after WWII, there were a lot of jobs, a lot of people realizing the dream to own a home and one paycheck supplied the family with what they needed. The rest of the world had suffered great losses and compared to them our country was moving along.
Today, gas is under $2, unemployment is down and the stock market is up. But, the American dream is allusive for a lot of younger people saddled with college debt and low paying jobs. That is what Sanders is selling, with his income inequality theme. Trump is playing the blame game. Where it’s the Muslims or illegals that caused the problem and he is the one who can fix it.
When was America great?

I also recommend "The Righteous Mind".
when we want to believe something , we ask " can i believe it." when we don't want to believe something we ask MUST i believe it. if we find a single reason to doubt the claim then we can dismiss it.

Good morning.
223 inches of snow, that's over 18 feet.
Here in Ohio, it's a gloomy day, but the rain is over and I'm waiting for the sun to come out. Sort of like the mood I've been in, thinking about the Newtown shooting.

I was wondering if, in those states considering secession, they start their meetings with the pledge of allegiance : I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

The last two years, I have made an appointment and had AARP do my taxes. Is that an option where you live? Took about 20 minutes to file electronically fed and state.
Oh, and it was free [call me a moocher ].

Victor Wooten's brother = Future Man
Roy Wilfred Wooten (born October 13, 1957 in Hampton, Virginia), also known as "RoyEl", best known by his stage name Future Man (also written Futureman), is an inventor, musician, and composer. He is known as Futche to his fans, He is a percussionist and member of the jazz quartet Béla Fleck and the Flecktones, along with banjoist Béla Fleck, harmonicist Howard Levy, former saxophonist Jeff Coffin, and Roy's brother, electric bass virtuoso Victor Wooten.
Biography Roy Wooten was raised in a military family and therefore traveled frequently. He is the second of five sons born to Dorothy and Elijah "Pete" Wooten. He graduated from Denbigh High School in Newport News, Virginia in 1975. He briefly attended music classes at Norfolk State University upon graduating from high school, and then embarked on his professional music career. He and his brothers moved to Nashville, Tennessee in the mid-1980s.
All of his brothers are musicians. The oldest, Regi, is a guitarist and much sought-after teacher in Nashville. Roy Wooten, Regi, and his three younger brothers, Rudy (1959–2010) (saxophone), Joseph (keyboards), and Victor (bass guitar), performed as The Wooten Brothers in numerous musical venues in the Hampton Roads area of southeast Virginia during the 1970s.
Wooten is a five-time Grammy Award-winning performer with Béla Fleck and the Flecktones. For the Flecktones, he plays the Drumitar, a novel electronic instrument of his own invention and he is the only vocalist for the group, occasionally performing wordless vocals on songs.
More recently, Wooten has developed a new electronic instrument called the RoyEl, which resembles a piano but plays notes not found in the traditional western music scales. This instrument is based on the periodic table of elements and the golden ratio.

It's been a long time since I had music theory, but shouldn't D Natural minor start and end on D?
Think of the harmony in the harmonic minor scale, and raising the third note of the dominant chord [the leading tone], to make the dominant V chord Major so that the cadence V to I has more push to resolve, that's what sounds familiar to most people.
