Too right Yabby. I hear they are great fans of 'Dirt Music'.

Pericles,

Spot on!

Music goes straight to a subliminal depth inside us that recognises the grammar of harmony. We get the same impressions from the physical patterns around us, although we're usually not aware of it. Music though, seems to go straight to our emotive centre.

<< Music though, seems to go straight to our emotive centre. >>

Certainly does Poirot, but not always in a good way.

Having other peoples’ music imposed upon you isn’t good, like right now as I sit in a café on the mid north coast of New South Wales! The music’s totally crappy and unbefitting of the atmosphere of the place. Even at a low volume it is damn annoying!

I like to think music and song provide a means of expressing one's desires and expectations. I like variety but this will be my favorite for the next week or so;

Bye, Bye Missy Anna the Blight
Drove your Kevvie to the Levy just to wave him goodnight
With good old voters drinkin’ Champers and dry
Singin’ this could be the day for goodbye
This could be the day for goodbye.

Hello there Ludwig...

Regrettably, I don't possess either the vocabulary or the ability to convey in words the intense pleasure that beautiful music has on me personally.

As a retired copper, I've witnessed the equable effect that soft music can have on some violent offenders.

It's often said '...good music soothes the savage beast...' or something along those lines. Perhaps I've even pinched those lines from another source, I dunno ? But it certainly has a decidedly calming effect on most people.

Yabby, mate, they're all tone deaf.

>>Err what about music loving wombats?<<

I thought everybody knew that.

You must be thinking of the Wombles.

Simple mistake.
