WW, ya caught me in one of my "half-baked" ideas.Some people can just sing (compose) a melody out of the blue. I have to have a chord structure to pull any kind of creativity out of me. I suspect that even prior to Bruce's 1575/1600 dates, people somehow gravitated to certain sequences of notes which just happened to also be harmonized by certain chord progressions. (or did that really come later, Bruce?) Maybe Bruce can also explain some of the physics that correlates to what we historically discovered (evolved) that just sounded good.
When will we hear your sweet voice again on PalTalk?
