Satur-ray...
Probably the worst post title, but I had no ideas. Featuring my Orient Ray 2 on a Hadley-Roma silicone strap today.

It is pretty bad-but the subject looks good.
You a musician?

Yes. I am a musician and college music professor. Which is why I can only afford cheap watches! haha.
The user name was a dead giveaway.
I give you the manta RAY 😘
If you could teach me the cycle of fifths, I would be forever indebted to you. I have tried and tried and people have tried to teach me but without success. 😠

haha. It's actually easier to understand by going counter-clockwise (cycle of fourths). Most music moves in 4ths, at least harmonically.

Thanks! I have played jazz piano for over 50 years but only discovered the cycle of fifths about 10 years ago. I will have one more go and then carry on as normal! 🥺

Cool. One easy way to connect music theory to jazz harmony you are familiar with is to consider a common jazz harmonic progression: 6, 2, 5, 1. In the key of C this would be: Amin7, Dmin7, G7, C (The first 4 measures of "Fly me to the Moon"). If you look at the Cycle of Fifths and go counter-clockwise, starting at A, you will see that the root motion follows this progression. So the cycle can be a useful tool for practicing common harmonic motion in lots of music.
