right. the area that would interest me is the relationship of music and language cadence.

beasts apparently do not process music/keep beats. except for cockatoos & the such.

i.e. language cadence as the origin of music.

"but what about rhythm" you say. rhythm is not cadence.

no need to get mystical. syl-la-bles have the beat.

is that a question

that is a question

aphasia = amusia? (not necessarily-- not if aphasia involves syntax but the cadence / beat areas are intact).
