Faldage, did you read what I wrote? I wrote that the intervalic relationship is how you tune the ukelele. And it is a mnemonic device if you remember pitches. You wrote "My dog has fleas"--and I instantly knew the melody to which you were referring, and I've got a handy ukelele here that I just tuned up using the mnemonic.

Now if that ain't a mnemonic, then how in Sam's Hill did I tune up my uke?

Also, I still don't understand why the Germans need an H for B instead of B. It's extremely illogical if you think about it:

CDflatDEflatEFGflatGAflatABflatHC

Just plain strange to see that "h" in between B and C--like some new, weirdly evolved violation of the alphabet.
