This is actually accurate. In his wonderful book, “How We Got to Now,” Steven Johnson tells how the cave paintings in Arcy-sur-Cure in France were clustered in specific parts of the cave where the acoustics, specifically, the reverberation were best. Perhaps the first words uttered by our early ancestors were, “more cowbell.”
“Got a little rhythm, a rhythm, a rhythmThat pit-apats through my brain;So darn persistent,The day isn’t distantWhen it’ll drive me insane…..“…Oh, how I long to be the man I used to be!Fascinating Rhythm,Oh, won’t you stop picking on me?”
