...I'd certainly be interested to know about Music & Dopamine & the Pleasure Centers - endophins &tc. - but Levitin makes point that maybe Music engages more dif. parts of the brain @ once than anything else?? (Aha!) - Thx BY! | |

- like the IrishTrad guitarists - following Davy Graham (back only to the 1960's!) - use D-A-D-G-A-D - ? - 'Spanish' or 'Standard' *Guitar* tuning is E-A-D-G-B-E - whereas Violin - & all things like it? - are G-D-A-E - I think! ...altho' Guitar in History was never Respectable (before Segovia) - ! Bach wrote for Lute or Cello, not Guitar! Guitar was - to paraphrase Austin Powers - like the Village Bicycle - everybody's had a ride! : p - so the idea of a 'Standard' tuning is perhaps historically inappropriate. - In the American South - poor AfricanAmericans would take the wire off a broom, nail it into their shacks, & use a glass as a slide - & this was the 'Didley Bow' - hence 'Bo Didley'...Slide players often use Alternate Tunings - &tc. &tc. ... | |

Quixabeira is a place near Bahia, the oldest and most really African city in Brasil. Lagoa da Camisa means "Shirt Pond" or "Shirt Lagoon". I'm figuring it must be a very locally known place in Bahia that has a waterfall with mist :) -- I haven't been in Bahia since my senior trip. (I did my senior year of h.s. in São Paulo) | |
