Well,,to put it in context,,I was the guy back in the sixties, who, having
been introduced to the idea of "living without clothing", at a summer house
some of my friends and I rented in Venice, California, 1968, decided to
propagate this idea to another friend's house in Santa Monica one night. It
was a party, and upon arriving, I simply doffed my clothes, took up position
in front of the door, in the living room, and did a yoga-style headstand,
stayed there as people came and went for some time, and having left the
message, took off.

Inhibitions? The sixties took care of those.

Careful. If you make yourself clear nobody will be able to see you. It's
always better to retain a certain amount of color.

Okay,,,"C",,hmmm,,,

Similar reasons people have for choosing Bb, except for the key signature.
