I'm with you in agreeing that music has all sorts of beneficial effects as
well as admiring those who explore the possibilities of our world. Note the
PS attached to the first Mozart post, repeated below:

"PS. However, it has been repeatedly proven that people of all ages, who
listen to and appreciate The Barbone Street Jazz Band have better developed
brain's, higher intelligence levels and a much more satisfying sex life than
those who do not."

Of course, I have something at stake locally with this claim and might even
add "plant growth" to it. :-) VBG
