Subject: RE: blue books revisited (Rise Up Singing)
I think for a lot of people it might not be an auditory experience so the actual sound of the music might not be as important to them as it is to others of us who like the actual sounds produced. People talk about a lot of reasons for liking music, but it is almost like they never talk about the sensory experience..our puritanical background again I guess. It tinkles our eardrums nicely. Ask 20 people why they like music...some like the emotional experience, some like the political expression, some like the community sharing etc...rarely will a person say because it feels good. There. I have said it. For me, the better it sounds, the better an experience it is. If I was more politically inclined, the sound might not matter as much and the ideas might be much more important. I know I am left-handed and probably my music center is in my dominant hemisphere..wonder if that is a factor.
