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.

Because they were happy or wanted to get laid and thought they could impress a female?  Still holds true today.  :)  Cheers.

I recall many parties back in the day, everyone around the bonfire, someone finds a stick, starts beating on log, others follow. Soon enough amazing rhythms ensue, primitive and tribal for sure. Man, I miss those days!

Isn't it obvious? Those people back then hadn't been indoctrinated into our messed up world view. They knew because no one had told them otherwise. Music is the meaning of life.
