I wonder...

Playing Music Makes You Smart

I wonder if this has anything to do with that famed children's rhyme that starts off, Beans, beans, the musical fruit...

I think it is appropriate to mention that I my own self play several musical instruments and on a couple of them, am able to make sounds identifiable as "music".

Show-off.

I don't know if I'm any smarter- yet. But my brain is working pretty hard at trying to make music. I figure by the time I'm ready to play for an audience, the dayroom at the old folks home where my kids drop me will be my first concert.

Does that include playing heavy metal and rap?

I'll be there right beside you, Nate, after having a big lunch of beans and cabbage.

I think such would work well for rap music, too.

And you know, maybe it would work for a heavy metal drum solo, if they would sit me in a metal folding chair.

Nate - this Choir may be looking for a guitarist.

(I seem to recall it was Skillzy that first alerted us to this fine Musical Performance.)
