In the beginning


Why did folks beat a stick on a log? Appease the Gods? Blow off steam? Impress a probable mate? Accompany oral mythologies assisting memory?

I need a good book on how music may have begin. Plus your thoughts.

It all started about 50 years back when I found a trophy phonograph and few records to spin. Then few years back, I found accordion and started to try to repeat to what I listened on this particular phonograph.

What was before that, I don't really care.

Music started right after they invented bedsprings.

It died on February 3, 1959 on a Beechcraft Bonanza headed to Fargo, North Dakota.

Music has evolved from an early way of comunicting. Launaguge was primative. Banging rhymically and making noise emoted feeling and sometimes a memory. And, as it evolved, people started to like how it made them feel. 

 

We humans like things that make us feel good.
