Music seems to be a good training against dementia and even seems to protect against effects of Alzheimer's disease, OTOH a lot of disorders are more often for artists, depressions, personality disorders, left vs right cerebral hemisphere, IOW artists are more often left-hander, dyslexics etc. and even while making music seems to protect against dementia and effects of Alzheimer, musicians are more often addicted to evil, life-endangering drugs, they are more often nerds etc., so the resume seems to be that the pros come with contras². IMO the only real pro of being a musician is to have fun, when making music and many of us "suffer" from synesthesia, so we don't need drugs to experience what most people only could experience when taking drugs. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
