When first starting to get a musical idea for a new song, it will be from playing certain chords or a riff, just going by tone color, not any key. Or, if I am starting to get a song come to me vocally, I will find the key I am singing or humming it in, and that's the key, unless I have to change the key later, if the high notes are out of my vocal range. I have songs in most keys, though the song, (musically and/or vocally) dictating them. My favorite key to play blues type songs though is C. Just because that;s the key I first started to play blues/jazz in at 12. So, I don't have to think about position or anything skill wise while playing that style.

Just Plain Quotes

"If someone is truly a jerk, or truly is not deserving of any positive reply from you, polite indifference is the best response you can give. Do not insult. Do not slam. Do not follow the urge to be nasty. Simply be politely indifferent." –Brian Austin Whitney
