(this used to be a Page on my blog but I’m demoted it to being just another entry in the Reading, Watching, Listening<\/a> category of my blog.)<\/p>\n

On any given day in the last 15 years, the song that has most often been floating through my head was one that I learned in an African music class. It’s a polyphonic Ewe Mbira<\/a> song taught to me by professor David Locke in the Music Department <\/a>at Tufts University. The song has floated around in my head so long probably because of it’s polyphonic nature… I can “sing” \u00a0it in my head or on an instrument but not out loud. I \u00a0would need 4 more sets of vocal cords. I can’t recall the name of it right now… something like “Threshing Wheat at the Mill” or…. grr. It’ll come to me.<\/p>\n

Some songs I appreciate include…<\/p>\n
