The hot and ill-tempered first wife believed to have turned to the popular warm spring while the cool-tempered second wife turned to cold spring water. The husband became the undulating hills that encompass the springs. It is well established that some of the Villagers still worship the springs as their deities.

Does music do more than entertain you? You can answer this question by asking yourself a few others. When do you find yourself turning on the radio, or popping in your favorite CD - when you come home from work or school? When you want to celebrate? How do you feel when the music starts? Chances are, one or more physiological changes takes place. If you feel calm and relaxed, your heart rate is probably slowing, and your blood pressure is lowering. If you become energized, the same jolts of endorphins you experience when you're really happy or exercising are likely responsible. Certain types of music can even deepen your state of consciousness, making it easier for you to learn, memorize, and focus. On the subject of relaxation, local musician
