was just about to upload this clip as well. Pretty cool clip. Must be amazing to stand on stage and get the audience to engage like that.

That was great! Almost no prodding of the audience to get that rolling.

To many people only know Bobby McFerrin from" Dont Worry Be Happy". He said (I think) that he wrote the song in 5-10 minutes after walking into the studio to continue working on his album. He also said he doesnt perform that song anymore, it was a quick little pop ditty. Oh, and by the way, he is AMAZING! Look for a documentary on him (I think it`s on this site, I may have seen it on vh1 or something) It`s great.

very cool how the complete effect sounded,

but i wish they had delved a little bit into `why` there is this tonal connection and understanding with people around the world.

I posted the full seminar on here, but it got removed. Does anyone know why this happens? Is there some kind of rule I am missing here?

Well, if he would have thought them the major scale it would have worked the same, only taken much longer and it wouldn`t really go in a concert because of that.
