There is some music that tickles my brain.

Parts of Gershwin's "Rhapsody In Blue' and others just feel good!

Hearing impaired since RVN, and it still feels good.

George Gershwin - Rhapsody in Blue

I know that I'm biased, but the 15 minute banjo solo in Rhapsody In Blue is my favorite part.

Ummmmm...RIB isn't supposed to "make you feel good", though. The dissidence, rapidly played notes that are supposed to sound like "traffic", etc. are to set moods, thoughts, and yes, feeling though.

These Monkees were pretty well tuned to music, and had banjo

They also found that our brains prefer the sound of screeching macaque monkeys than the sound of a Hillary Clinton speech.

Too late for George Allen...

THis might explain why I was never able to play music, brain ain't wired right............

Now with my hearing shot, it is all just sounds, faint.

My ex and I are tone deaf Our son has natural ear and plays every instrument in a band and sings. Must have been a tenor in the wood pile.

Just wait till you plod through a thread on A=432 vs A=440.

One of my favorite tunes by one of my favorite groups:

Soft Lights & Sweet Music--Waring's Pennsylvanians (vocal by the Three Girl friends) (1932)

And why are many musicians small? I can’t help think of AC/DC, Van Halen, Mick Jagger, etc. I have a theory. Many small males in a pre-historic tribe would not be sent to hunt with the men. Instead they were told to stay home and listen to hear if there were any sounds indicating a threat to the village. These people passed their smallness and good hearing to future generations so that eventually many people who were musicians were also small.

Now, I don’t know if this is true. But I could appear to be true.

According to some of my past private research, the diatonic seven-tone major scale was used in Babylon.

My music history professor, an expert on Mozart, said baby Wolfgang cried in his crib when he heard Minor, and laughed when he heard Major.

The idea that humans respond consistently and predictably to certain musical conventions - e.g., minor scale and/or descending scale evoke melancholy - is called: The Doctrine of Affects (affections: emotions).

What they need to do next is to raise some monkeys with daily music from birth. When they are mature, then try these tests on them. Maybe the brain has a need to respond to music early in its formation.

The Gabriel Faure ‘Requium’

[sparklite2]

At its first performance, Rhapsody in Blue resulted in boos, people walking out, and harsh critical reviews. Unthinkable.
