What we found were songs woven from the thread of traditional music like bluegrass, folk, Western, Gallic, and the blues. As the participants have little in the way of "formal musical training," the question emerges: were the tones within the person at birth, or were they acquired through osmosis after birth?

The songs have been assembled into four compilations according to emotional intensity:

1. mild toe tappin'
2. finger snappin'
3. slightly drastic
4. quite spaztic

   For instance, Led Zeppelin's songs are quite often rooted in the blues. Robert Plant has said that he loves to listen to Led Belly and other blues heroes. Perhaps this musical instinct was innate in Robert, John Paul, John and Jimmy. Or, perhaps it was acquired through osmosis. In any event, it's fun to feel 'em get in the groove. Though the original songs were milder toe tappin' and finger snappin' tunes, Zeppelin's renditions usually fall in the slightly drastic to quite spastic realm. So too, are the results of our experiment... only these songs were written and recorded on-the-spot (with the exception of the Dixieland jazz... er, a... Dixieland punk versions of Foreigner's Hot Blooded, Fleetwood Mac's Go Your Own Way, and Led Zeppelin's Black Country Woman 9.4M wav file.)
