Back in my younger years as a blues novice, I would attend open blues jams quite frequently. On quite a few occasions with different people leading the jam, they would turn to us on stage and say "Slow blues in BB's key". Being a "rookie" I would look at the bass player and he'd mouth or whisper "B Flat" when he'd see the puzzled or "deer in the headlights" look on my face. Once I "got it", I just thought that was the funniest thing. It was like "bluesman's code" or something. I felt like I was initiated into a "secret society" after that!
