Certainly they can, and hopefully they do, but you miss my point. Comfort
level has nothing to do with it. (I myself love gospel.) Familiarity with
the language has everything to do with it. For instance, most of the
settings used in this example are not used in jazz, so it's harder to
recognize something that one may have heard played with a jazz setting
thousands of times, but never before at some of these settings. See what I
mean?

I scored eight out of twelve. The clips were spoiled by digital artifacts
using the compressed wmv format. I would know the sound of old Hammond keys
clacking on a gliss anywhere.
