"Amazing Grace" - amazing video

Africans, the 'slave scale.' musicology, Christianity. All extracted from five little black notes on the piano.

You should watch all of this (courtesy of Andrew Sullivan). It is probably the youtube video I have learned the most from.

I think I will dedicate this post to Jack and Elliot (the somewhat compulsive blogger)

I have to go grade now.

Wow! That's quite something. But is it true? Is that really where the tune comes from?
