Thats right!  Sheesh, we're ALWAYS playing in Dminor (Eminor for us Bflats) or 
D (E for Bflats) so its nice to hear of different keys being played.  PLUS, I 
almost always have to play one note higher than I read because nearly every 
single piece is written for C instruments.  Like you said, it becomes second 
nature, although accidentals throw me on a new piece.  And when we do get a 
piece that's written for Bflats, the guys look blankly at me and I still have 
to transpose up because I'm used to it.  Alas, the miserable, unappreciated 
life of non-C instruments.
