Transcript

Yo, if you could bring one musician back from the dead to see live, who would it be? I'd probably run Elvis. You gotta think bigger. Why choose someone who you've heard recordings up? Here are four options I'd consider, but I'd probably go with the last one. One, Roman Emperor Nero, known to scandalize his aristocratic brethren with his competitive liar playing. Of course, this would be a bit risky because it was said that when he played, no one was allowed to leave the theater. Leading to reports of women giving birth and men pretending to be dead just so that they would get carried out. the performance. Two, Pythagoras, Greek philosopher and mathematician, aka Triangle Man, but also credited with significant contributions to music theory and harmonics, discovering mathematical relationships between musical intervals. Cool dude! Triangle Man, Triangle Man! Three, from the same time period, Confucius, Chinese philosopher and fortune cookie guru, also noted for his musical ability with the Zither. He considered music an integral part of education and culture and integrated it into his whole philosophical system. Confucius says, when music, Music hits you and no pain is felt, you know the zither strings are well dealt. And for my choice, the biblical King David, traditionally credited with composing many of the Psalms, aka Tehalem, and supposedly a skilled harpist. I have some questions for him.
