In the section that Levitin tries to tackle the question of where did music come from, he argues that it’s not an evolutionary spandrel.

Music may indicate biological and sexual fitness, serving to attract mates. Darwin believed that music preceded speech as a means of courtship, equating music with the peacock’s tail. In his theory of sexual selection, Darwin posited the emergence of features that served no direct survival purpose other than to make oneself (and hence one’s genes) attractive.

“Music evolved and continues to function as a courtship display, mostly broadcast by young males to attract females,” Miller argues.

We all remember the hysterical females when the Beatles played the Ed Sullivan show and how young women would throw their under-things at Tom Jones.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
