[LAU] Re: We’ve Got the Beat - in Our Genes

I have been practicing music all my conscious life. My father was basically unmusical but not averse to it. He probably enjoyed that I enjoyed it. My mother did not show much interest in music except for a few (about 10-20) singles from the 60s. I played at her 50th, 60th and 70th birthdays and she seemed happy and content with the way it sounded. I get a pretty high score on the Barcelona Music Reward Questionnaire. Maybe there is something further back in my family or I'm just a mutant. What might make me raise my eyebrows in the referenced study is that there are >9000 twins. According to statistics, there are about 45000 twins aged 37-64. A little more than 20% of all twins of that age in Sweden participated in the study. -- /bengan
