Ah, perfect start to the day, thx - and da coffee ;)
Good bits in this doc OT fylp, .. find
A quiet man cave somewhere:

Musick has Charms to sooth a savage Breast,
To soften Rocks, or bend a knotted Oak.
I've read, that things inanimate have mov'd,
And, as with living Souls, have been inform'd,
By Magick Numbers and persuasive Sound.

So wrote William Congreve in 1697, around the time that Scottish warriors were playing bagpipes — not to soothe, but to terrify their battlefield enemies. Five centuries before that, native North Americans frightened invading Vikings with the sound of bull roarers swinging through the air. And Aztecs would blow into a death whistle that's bone-chilling to hear even now. And even before all that, Joshua's horn was said to have brought down the walls of Jericho.

Throughout the ages, some musical sounds have been believed to have a profound physical effect on us. But one musical instrument invented in Ireland two centuries ago was suspected of driving all those who heard it to madness, and even suicide: the glass harp, or armonica.

"The members of the chess club, the math and science majors don't listen to this stuff. It's the dropouts, the drug and alcohol abusers. So, our argument is you have a duty to be more cautious when you're dealing with a population susceptible to this stuff."
