Just a little further to this: I recently was reading an article by a journalist who spent a couple of days with Oliver Sacks. One of the persons the journalist met while with Sacks was one who apparently couldn't move at all, simply could not move, but when music was played couldn't stay still. There was an explanation about what he/they thought the connection was, but I can't remember it just now! But if anyone is interested, I can easily track it down.At 06:16 AM 04-07-99 -0400, you wrote:>After being silent for far too long (although some would disagree with that) I'm just going to jump right in here.....this is a topic I can identify with!>>I read in a medical publication quite a while ago that certain types of music almost compel us to move and keep moving. I know my feet can't resist a jig, preferrably from the east coast or The British Isles. It's rare that a fiddle doesn’t get my legs doing fancy movements and my feet tapping, swishing and gliding. Of course, sometimes the rest of my body doesn't do a whole lot, but the sound of a fiddle played fast and well turns the bottom third of me into a Riverdance wannabee.>And a message for Bonnie Rowley: Bonnie, I had a lot of problems getting message re the mysterious HTML stuff to your personal website, but hope that I finally suceeded couple of weeks back.
