I was never much good at mathematics either. It is fascinating to realize there are so many layers to music that are universal and at the same time different culturally. If we want world peace maybe we should start with music...
Haley has certainly been doing her part. 
A lot of these things are in one ear and out the other for me. Some how i keep putting them in my ear and they keep going out. The technical description of pitch by the physicists on that forum was definitely like that but Berstein's first lecture stuck with me.
I can't listen to them back to back and have them be meaningful. I've only listened to the first one and took a day to digest it.
I'll listen to 2/6 tomorrow or the next day.
I'm happy enough reading forums and only getting a few things that either are verifyably true or are understandable but. they often lay a sort of foundation that helps me figure out the right questions to be asking. Knowing what I should consider if I'm curious about something is a step in itself. I wouldn't have wandered onto the Berstein lectures without 5 or 6 posts there mentioning him (and I didn't get through all the replies to all the posts there either , thats for sure).
