Interesting read....


Freakonomics » Do Musicians Have Better Brains?


I found this to be an interesting read.
A bit of insight to some of the characteristics and quirkiness we may share as musicians which may separate us from regular folks.

I would have to agree with the findings. Music is really mathmatics and imagination combined and to be good at it you have to be able to think ahead of where you currently are in terms of time signature, tempo etc. much like a great chess player. Not just anyone can do this.

I concur indubatibly, old friend. As with electronics, formulatively speaking, timing clocks in micro processors are quite precise.

That's a great find S.A.L.
