In these two short videos, musical genius Bobby Mc Farrin demonstrates how closely we connect with music.

Wonderful and fun isn’t it?
Have a great day today. Listen to a tune, or better yet sing or dance along!

The Why About This
%d bloggers like this:
I have to listen to dance music in the morning and evening to energise myself. I also listen to it to send me off to sleep.
Music is just the bestest, well right after friends, Sandra! Have an excellent Tuesday, my friend! 🙂
Thanks. Friends are extremely important too.
Yes they are Sandra! xx
These had me grinning from ear to ear…fabulous! 🙂
He’s just great! 🙂
Had me smiling all the way through on both videos!

Hey pal, enjoying your weekend? 🙂 xo
I can’t live without music, it is essential, absolutely essential. I love to sing in the bath, even as a child I did, and I still have my handwritten text book which fell into the bathwater… you can see the ink smeared, but it is still legible…. I will never forget that, hehe, and I still remember the song which we learnt in music lessons.
That is so cool Ute, that you’ve carried on with your love of music since a child.
I am so not going to ask how the text book fell into the bathwater, lol!
Although excellent that you still have it, ink smears and all!
It’s amazing how well we can remember songs and rhymes from our youth, and as you say, telling too! :)xx
It is actually amazing Penny, as I do not remember any lyrics of songs from nowadays, but the old ones will always be in my memory. 🙂
So wonderful!
:), I agree both the illumination of our musical natures and his talent!!:)
Bobby was always one of my favorites.
Hi Becki, his is great isn’t he! Thanks for stopping by, I hope your having a pleasant and relaxing weekend! 🙂
Yes he is wonderful ! We are college football fans so we are relaxing watching football. Enjoy your weekend as well!
I will, thanks. Enjoy the games!!! 🙂
Thanks we are winning so far 🙂
Who’s playing who (don’t have the tv on!)?
Oregon State Beavers vs. Colorado .. We are Beaver fans. Then tonight is University of Oregon Ducks vs. California Bears. We are not Duck fans but our neighbor is the star running back for the Ducks. his name is Thomas Tyner. We are from Chicago but we became attached to the beavers because years back my husband coached some kids that ended up playing for the Beavers. In the NFL we are Chicago Bears fans.
Yayyyyy! Go Oregon State Beavers! I grew up in Albany but graduated from Corvallis High School! Oregon State U, a couple classes at OSU before Penn State so the Beavers are near and dear to me! And so are the Ducks, but for different reasons!:)
Beavers won and now Ducks are kicking butt !! We live in Aloha right on edge of Beaverton
Oh course they did and of course they are! 🙂 Yes I know right where you are! Up until 3 years ago I lived in Newberg, commuting to Portland.
Oh boy that is a commute. Are you still in Oregon ?
Nope, Richland, Washington. A four hour drive along the Gorge! 🙂
I love the gorge.
I never get tired of the drive, it’s beautiful!

I had such a happy grin on my face while watching the video, this man is so talented. Thank you for making my day Penny.
Hi Linda. Thank you for stopping by. Isn’t music just the greatest for connecting us to each other! I hope You and Bulldog are having an excellent weekend! 🙂
As we are vibrational beings, no wonder Music plays such an important role in altering our own moods and energy of that feel-good-factor..
Loved this video clip…. and it demonstrates how we are all connected too for Music is a universal language like the smile…. 😀
Thank you for the reblog 🙂

Hi Sue! I agree with you about being vibrational beings (for most people its completely subliminal but still there, don’t you find?). I agree with you also about music connecting us, probably faster than other sort of medium or value, now that I think about it. Thanks for your thoughts, very interesting to dwell on! Hope your having an excellent weekend of things!!! 🙂
Nice concept, Music Creates a vibe among us and it continues to flow for a certain period of time 🙂
Brilliant!!!! What a guy!
Thank you for this, Penny. Have a beautiful and very musical day!! 🙂 xxxxxxx
Totally beautiful! And I love the ease and grace of Bobby McFerrin!
Have a blessed weekend and sing on! 😀

Music is sooo important in my life!! TY for post!!!
That first one was so much fun. The way the audience took part with him only giving two notes and they took the entire scale. It was awesome.
I did like the second, but thought the first was more fun and more interactive. Brilliant.
Can’t understand those who donakt ‘get it’ (and there are a few). Music lives and grows with us, reflecting and mirroring our emotions and experiences, and filling in the gaps when our own words won’t come. Keep up the good work!
I agree. Always has been inconceivable to me when the nature of music and how we interact seems so obvious. Thank you Chris, I’ll be my best. A special thank you for your visit and taking the time to comment!
