Your vibrating brains
Arthur McLean
It's amazing what we can learn about stuff. Bridgett's reading a book called "Your Brain on Music" and it claims that your brain will vibrate at the same frequency as the tone you are hearing. I have a lot of odd songs that go through my head day to day, so there's no telling what vibrations my brain is having.

Patty Swanson called me up the other day to let the paper know that she has joined Samantha Montz at Play it Again Sam. She moved to Thomasville not too long ago, and joins the ranks of a good number of music teachers around the area.

Bridgett, a board certified music therapist, amazes me with her musical knowledge and talent. I played the trumpet, barely, while in middle school, and I remember hours and hours of piano practice as a small child. I wasn't the one practicing on the piano, but I had two older sisters who did. I can appreciate all the hours of practice it takes to get good at playing a musical instrument.

And there's a lot of folks around these parts who've done just that. The annual Fall Festival in Fulton puts a wide array of local musical talent on display every year.

Madison back home

Speaking of talent and hard work, Anthony Madison is back visiting in Thomasville. Madison is a cornerback and special teams player for the Pittsburgh Steelers and graduate of Thomasville High School. He'll be signing autographs at A.J.'s in Thomasville Friday from 3 p.m. To 5 p.m. And the Times' Charlie Anderson will be catching up with him in an article for next week's paper.

Chivalry must die?

According to a recent article that appeared on the internet site Yahoo, chivalry may make us guys look like creeps to the modern girl. Well, I don't know about that, but I do know that my momma and daddy tried to teach me a few things, like holding a door open and walking on the street side of the sidewalk and I try to do it. Hopefully, the ladies won't think I'm a creep for it. I guess I can blame my parents if they do.
