[Dixielandjazz] Music is good for you.

[Steve barbone]

As list mates Jane McHugh Lynch and Fred Spencer will verify, music is good
for what ails you. The below article is snipped from a 3 page report. To see
the full report, (well worth it) visit.

I don't know about Mozart, but do know that Jazz, played by Barbone Street,
The Robber Dogs, The New Melbourne Jazz Band and St Gabriel's Celestial
Singers increases audience desire for kinky sex. :-) VBG.

The Power Of Mozart The legendary composer is not just for listening to
anymore ‹ 250 years after his birth, he's a health fad.

By PETER GUMBEL / PARIS / European edition of "Time" magazine.

Mozart; his music has been used to treat ailments ranging from acne to
Alzheimer's disease.

Katia Eliad, a Paris-based artist, was stuck in a rut. She felt blocked in
her creativity, out of touch with herself and for some inexplicable reason
unable to use green or blue in her abstract paintings. So last spring, she
started an unusual treatment: daily two-hour sessions of Mozart's music for
three weeks at a time, filtered through special vibrating headphones that
sometimes cut out the lowest tones. The impact, she says, was dramatic. "I'm
much more at ease with myself, with people, with everything," says Eliad,
33. "It feels like I've done 10 years of psychoanalysis in just eight
months." Blue and green are back in her palette. As for Mozart, "he's become
like a grandfather who calms you when you wake up in the middle of a
nightmare." (snipped to below)

A growing volume of research suggests that music may hardwire the brain,
building links between the two hemispheres. Exactly how this process works
is still unclear, but such brain stimulation can lead to peaks of
performance and awareness.
