All music is vibration, and any note that you hear is just a string or other resonant

material vibrating at a specific frequency.

For hundreds of years, various human cultures have tried to categorize and systematize those

frequencies, but in the end, it's just physics, man.

Welcome to Strong Songs, a podcast about music.

I'm your host, Kirk Hamilton, and I'm so glad that you joined me to talk about sympathetic

vibration, harmonics, multifonics, overtone series, and even, sometimes, non-tempered tunic.

Strong Songs is an independent listener-supported show, which means I'm not owned by a big

podcast network.

It's just me making the show that I want to make as I slowly transform into a corn cob.

If you would like to support me in this endeavor, go to patreon.com slash strong songs to find

out Warner.

On this episode, it's time to answer your most resonant musical questions.

I always have a lot of fun opening up the Strong Songs Mailbag, and it gives me an opportunity

to talk about a lot of different songs in a single episode.

That's the plan for today, and we've got a lot to get through, so let's put on some tea,

grab our letter openers, and get into it.

All right, let's do this Mailbag thing.

I always love reading all of your questions, and while I have probably more questions in

the backlog than I'll ever be able to answer, it's really nice to have so many options

whenever I'm making a Mailbag episode.

So please do send me your questions.
