OP heidiv 500 Post Club Member H Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 580 piano bench, usually	I just read in the Wall Street Journal this morning that PBS is having a special on Wednesday 6/24 from 9-11 EST entitled "The Music Instinct: Science and Song."(Sorry I'm not posting a link to the article. I think you need to subscribe to open it). Yo-Yo Ma and Oliver Sachs will be featured. Topics include "is musicality unique to humans, are music responses learned," etc. The reviewer (Nancy deWolf Smith) says "there isn't a boring moment here." Just wanted to pass along the info in case anyone was interested. I'm setting my recorder! heidiv
