I hate Manilow's music but my wife has always loved it. We attended a concert of his a few years ago and it is clear that he is a very polished entertainer who succeeds in pleasing his followers well. For that, I congratulate him. But I do so with earplugs firmly in place.

And now a hymn from Emerson, Lake and Palmer.

From The New Scientist article "Eavesdropping on the music of the brain" by Nora Schultz:

Brain scans created using functional MRI consist of a series of images in which different areas light up with varying intensity at different times. These can be used to determine which parts of the brain are active during a particular task.

To turn such scans into music, philosopher Dan Lloyd at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut, identified regions that become active together and assigned each of these groups a different pitch. He then created software that analyses a series of scans and generates the notes at these pitches as the corresponding brain areas light up. Each note is played at a volume that corresponds to the intensity of activity.

Gods, I feel old.

Right now I don't dare listen to music...even the tapping of the keys is done gently to let The Loved One sleep similarly in the bed beside me (the bed is beside me, that is - I'm at my desk). I can only hear wind in the trees, and the light electric motor-whrrr of the ceiling fans, and I really should be going to bed...

This is my Avalon song.

Thats a musical journey that seems almost impossible to accomplish to me.

and "Good Enough For Now"

A taste of the past.

As this is a forum about books, I thought this might be appreciated. A jewel by my favourite author interpreted in a quite extraordinary way. Enjoy.

It is well said of P.D.Q Bach that of the twenty-odd children of Johann Sebastian Bach, he was the oddest of all.
