Seven. That's all we have. Seven little notes. Do. Re. Mi. Fa. So. La. Ti. Yet with these few notes we have been able to create tons and tons of songs. And despite the great number of songs we have they are basically different. There is no mistaking the melodies of 1890 with the tunes of 2016. We can tell country from rock, pop from jazz, opera from the blues, rap from southern gospel. Every decade has its own sound. Each country its own style. It's never ending. Even now there are people creating new songs. New styles. New sounds. It's something to look forward to.
