UB,

One of those may not be entirely accurate.

I cannae be arsed to figure it out though.

When music makes my head bob, my foot tap, and my hips swivel, then I know it's working.


best regards,

From my observations, I think I have a handle on how music works.

1. Parent/Teacher/Pirate Captain tells kid, "You'll never amount to anything."
2. Kid has too much free time and uses an inordinate amount of it learning the art of making music.
3. Kid uses music in an attempt to gain popularity among a certain segment of the population.
4. Kid grows up being told that there is no future in music, no hope of ever meeting the "right person", and no chance of any future happiness whatsoever.
5. Kid ignores all advice and rocks out anyway.
6. As an adult, Artist works a bogus day job to finance Operation Get Out Of Parent's Basement.
7. Artist attempts to earn a living with music only to learn why Starving Artists have that name.
8. Artist finds a soul mate, finds happiness, and creates a future.
9. Artist learns that there is more to life than a rusty van/truck/wagon with enough space to haul gear, $50 a week to play for 6 hours, and being asked to play Freebird 18 times per night.
10. Artist pitches a tent/builds a studio/uses an unwanted room in the basement to create a place where music can live.
11. Artist spends ridiculous amounts of time posting in the Coffee House.

I'm not entirely sure about that sequence, though.  YMMV

Oh yeah!  Freebird!  Cool song.  (It's in "G" too.)

If someone plays Freebird one more time, I'll need to be restrained.

Can we add Hotel California to this list? 

(And Brown Eyed Girl?)

Music works?

I thought it plays.

I am not amused!! j/k Good one, Janet!!

Btw, I had seen a "documentary" (I don't know if that's the right term) on this very subject - separated into three parts each consisting of the traditional definition of music (ie: what makes it up). It was pretty good. Then again, I'm drawn to this kind of stuff.

unfortunately there is no music at all - it's just our brain playing tricks on us using sounds and s$it...
so to answer the question music doesn't work, our head does, sounds are tingling brain cells and they're having orgasm
while we think the song is pretty good.
