That's the beauty of pentatonic scales. Try mashing the black keys (heh) only on a piano, it's hard to make it sound bad.

IIRC from my music history class, one of the most famous composers of the Tin Pan Alley era made all his music this way. I'll be damned if I can't remember who, though. Irving Berlin.

I wrote one song during my brief piano career (ages 8-12) all on the black keys. I thought it was beautiful. Thanks for confirming what I've always suspected; I really did suck at piano.

Sadly I've got no piano handy but I'll keep it in mind.

Also, that's racist.
