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.

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.

Man didn’t start the music, it was always all around us: birds chirping in the woods, wind blowing in the trees, gorillas beating their chests, wolves howling kids laughing, women crying. We just add our verses and overtime it became a beautiful thing.
