    Something I hadn't noticed before. You can play the melody of the entire tune 'Amazing Grace' using only the five black keys on a piano.

    You can play any melody that uses the pentatonic scale on the black keys.

    I like playing Greensleeves, but that requires white keys. I think I have race issues. :(

    I don't see black or white. I play Amazing Grace on my bagpipes.

    I love both the white and the black keys. But I mostly only like the black keys when I am playing flats instead of sharps... is that a problem?

    i mostly just like the black keys when i'm already a little drunk. the song they had on GTA4 was pretty catchy though.

    Yes, the Black Keys are good when drunk. That's the only time I find them tolerable.

    I saw 'The Black Keys' open for Beck way back when and I liked them.

    Yes, Antithesis. We've heard that you play in five flats and get kicked out of every one of them.
