mississippitom,
It's difficult to know where this thread can go to. There are at least three or four good potential threads but they may all would go off the 'mudcat' theme. Its all good food for thought for anyone with a keen interest in the emotional content of song and music and how it works on the deeper levels of the human psyche. Music in all its forms is a fundamental of human existence and folk tradition has played its part from the first beatings of a drum and its intrinsic relationship to a beating heart through to a collective orchestra and its symbolism of advanced collective society working together to produce music in celebration and elevation of the human spirit. Azizi's colour symbolism is spot on and so is the 'Auras' site especially for anyone wanting to ask the more subtler questions of why we love music whether playing or listening. For anyone interested in this thread 'music has colour' it has a definite esoteric feel to it and therefore may not be core content to usual mudcats threads. I may be wrong.

As I said earlier, music makes visible the invisible. So does colour (and also mathematics that underpins all things, natural and man/woman made). Try a new thread by all means but these things may be better spoken about over a few beers or wine in convivial company. Not a common thing in my experiance.
