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 was probably hunting related and then evolved.

LOL Actually ROCK guitar.. The singing was people screaming and running from Sabertooth Tigers. When they were caught. That was the starting of the REAL Blues. It wasn't about women and men it was about who was the slowest runner. Regards
