At long last I found a book on music theory I can understand by John Powell ?How Music Works? a research physicist, explains a wonderful accessible guide to the physics of sound and acoustics.
He answers so many questions like the strange names in music. Why pentatonic scales work,  and covers hundreds of questions that take musicians years to study.
This book is my constant companion.
Many thanks to John Powell
