Hey Benneyboy, did you see this?
Given your love for improvisational music of all sorts, I thought you'd want to see this. About brain activity and jazz improvisation, but I imagine it applies to all improv styles:

2. This article convinced me to do something that I had been
thinking about doing. I am going to start a non profit called The Joyful Sound foundation. What we are going to do is bring music to the people. Bring a bunch of hand drums and noisemakers to senior centers, daycares, schools, mental health facilities etc. so they can get that type of therapy.

All different type os percussion insturments. Give them some instruction and get a big drum circle going.

6. The second part ties it all together.... the book is
part of the inspiration for the JSF. So that is perfect.

And the String Cheese Incident song Joyful Sound (as well as the biblical verse)is the name of the foundation.
