Yeah, Robin, it sounds like you've read This Is Your Brain on Music : The Science of a Human Obsession, by Daniel J. Levitin.

A friend of mine, who is not a musician but a poet by trade, and is also interested in brain research, discovered this book and was so impressed by it that he bought several copies to give to his musician friends such as me.

Thank you, Richard! Much appreciated!

There is a real wealth of information in this book, both fascinating and useful. Get it. Read it.
