"Dateline Mesopotamia, 3500 B.C. That's when the multi-faceted sounds we call music got its humble beginnings. It seems clappers were sent out the the fields to scare evil spirits away.

So, born in staving off death, music continues to nourish us in a variety of forms as different as the colors of the spectrum." »Jeffrey Vlaming
