After posting in the music instruments forum and consulting the source,
it seemed best to prostrate myself here. I was commenting on Jubal being
the first named musician on earth, in Genesis. The Holy King James Bible
says he played harp and organ. I can't begin to imagine what can be an
organ in this context, except hollowed out hand instruments. Am I too
swamped by keyboard high tech to imagine something less? Maybe.
Because I just took it for granted the first named musician would be a drummer,
a form of long distance communication and dancing, percussion, if nothing else.
Even the forty thousand year old flute that was mentioned here over two years ago
came to mind. Quite a few members here have cathedral experience, something I'm
so far away from. I can parse the name Jubal and imagine the relationship to future
tribal activity, but not the instruments.
Is it mythery, or is it memory?
