More on Music and Elephants

Yesterday I received a very interesting letter from a Dr. in India. He wanted to let me know vis-a-vis the article I posted on the depressed, anxious elephant who was healed with Mozart and other classics, about another instance of music with animals!

He said that there are many ancient sources in Indian literature which speak to just this sort of thing and especially to the power of strings, i.e., harp, violins, sitar, to calm and soothe angry elephants. It's hard to imagine a much worse situation than an angry elephant! Keep some soothing music on you Ipod!
