[Dixielandjazz] Music is ?

[Ron L'Herault]

There is a difference between music and musical sound.   Birds make musical
sounds for the most part.  Hoots of owls, while not unpleasant don't strike
me as musical.

 What about bird songs, or frog mating calls,
especially the peepers here in the Eastern USA or many other such songs.
Aren't they "music", but not art?

PS. Is there not some mysterious hum that occurs deep in the earth. Is this
music? (or the devil playing a washboard) Also, at our ongoing gig in the
Showboat Casino the slot machine rooms emit a droning hum that is exactly a
middle C. Apparently some marketing guru (or devil's disciple) feels that
this hum evokes a betting response in humans. (We play a lot of tunes in C
when we pass the slots areas)
