Imagine Bobby McFerrin having a Guinness (or, preferred by yours truly) a Murphy’s Irish Stout when a colleague (aka fellow drinker) asks him if the power of the pentatonic scale is diminished.
Power of the Pentatonic Scale
This video has been around the block, first appearing in July 2009 focused on an event held in June of that year. Here is how the poster described the video, “Bobby McFerrin demonstrates the power of the pentatonic scale, using audience participation, at the event “Notes & Neurons: In Search of the Common Chorus”.
I am merely imagining how it would have gone over in an Irish drinking establishment, and perhaps wondered how the staid gentlemen on the stage would have reacted after havin’ a pint or tow.
OTHER INFO FROM THE POSTER:
“The World Science Festival gathers great minds in science and the arts to produce live and digital content that allows a broad general audience to engage with scientific discoveries. Our mission is to cultivate a general public informed by science, inspired by its wonder, convinced of its value, and prepared to engage with its implications for the future.”
* I have no idea if Mr. MCFerrin imbibes at all, so if he does not, my apologies in advance for inserting him into an Irish pub. Where, whether you imbibe or not, you’ll have an abundance of savage Craic.
