Flipping thru the tv channels this morning I came across a guy - standing in a field - playing an accordion for a herd of milk cows (there really IS nothing good on tv these days!).. the bovine really did seem to be interested in the music... if you can call the accordion 'music'.. I suppose it has it's place - in your local Polish American Hall - where I am not likely to be assailed by it's shrill wailing.. but they found something interesting.. the cows produced 21% more milk that week.. was it the power of the music or did the cows all get together in the barn after and agree to crank up the production so that guy with that instrument of torture wouldn't come back again.. ever..
Who knows.. and no.. I don't know why I'm blogging it.. I just found it interesting.. music does really have a 'power' all it's own.. it can calm you - crank you up - make you drive way too fast - move you to tears - make you smile - and apparently increase milk production.. maybe all the dairy farmers need to pick up a cd or two of the Beer Barrel Polka, just try and explain that one to the IRS when they question the expense entry of 10 cd's all from Happy Louie's Polka Extravaganza on next years tax return! Really.. it's for the cows!
Later..
