----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the best lyric i wrote last year, i think...
I was in Atlanta in the vibey home studio of Kenito the Brilliant, he played percussion on Survivin in the Key of Eflat from the "Primitive Guide to Being There" recordings...YOu can also hear Kenito on the best radio station in the ATL..WRFG...will keep you informed!!! Amy Goodman DEMOCRACY NOW!! I digress.. We always had a good boho-music art vibe whenever Kenito and I worked together,he and his crew was my saving grace when i was making the transition from my beloved New Orleans after Katrina the hurricane to the safety of Atlanta.
Unfortunately the track has not been released and i'm getting anxious to put my own version out, with just the bass and melody and lyric that i wrote. The super amazing Kebbi Willaims is on Flute, straight out of the ATL, he also plays very sexy saxy, amongst other instruments indeed, a deepness beyond his years...Check out his playing with OUTKAST..the funkiest band in the ATL.
I will post the demo i have started with the new version of OXYGEN to get some feedback from my peeps! UNIVERSOULOVE! jhe.x

I thought this was an interesting observation someone sent to me from Minds.com...
Between the Musically Gifted and the Tone Deaf
Some people are just born musically challenged. The Journal of Neuroscience is reporting on the reason why some people cannot sing in tune. Ten percent of the population has a faulty brain wiring that keeps them from telling the difference between musical notes. The brain region, dubbed the “highway,” links music and language centers to voice production. This area, the arcuate fasciculus as it’s known, was not only smaller in tone deaf people, but the upper portion was actually missing.
You can take the tone deaf test here: http://www.nidcd.nih.gov/tunetest/dtt.asp.
On the opposite side, some people have a remarkable talent known as perfect pitch. They are able to identify any note on the spot without a reference. Of course, perfect pitch is rare. Some estimates have said that 1 out of 10,000 people have this ability. But among special populations like autistic people, 3 out of five 5 can identify notes like the back of their hand. This has been linked to unusual brain structure that is evident even before birth. People that have perfect pitch have more asymmetric brains. The temporal lobe that is responsible for auditory processing is usually larger on the left side of human brains. Perfect pitch possessors have an even larger left side when compared to their right. But even if people are born with this feature, they need to have been musically trained to have pitch naming ability.
No matter how hard people train, most people cannot learn to identify notes. This means perfect pitch is hard wired from the beginning.
