Well, the neighbors high school daughter called Monday night to ask if I would please turn the music down when I was testing my system out to get the over-under on db levels. Dead quite, with the AC off, 42.1 db. And then the loudest my system will play with precision, Lee Michaels, the Lee Michaels album, the loudest sustained of all my music, 120.2 db.Hate to break it to you but that is not exactly the sort of ecstasy stories that start out that way are supposed to end with.
The idea that a teenager would call me to turn it down was amusing. It was pure concussive ecstasy.
More proof that music is not just an aural sensation.
Now the Nobel Prize committee enters the fray.
