Day Forty-eight, May Eighteenth

Key signatures with lots of sharps. Why would you torture musicians by forcing them to play in very undesirable keys? Sharps are much worse than flats because no one likes them. Flats appeal to trombones, tubas, and flutes, but no one would have reason to prefer a sharp. The exact key is kind of irrelevant. Don't put a song in F#, when you could take it down a semi-tone and play it in F, which is a very appealing key.
