I also found Native American music very fascinating. Not to sound ignorant, but at first listen Native American music kinda sounded like noise to me, but after our class discussions I learned there was a reason for everything--even the vocables. I admire their connection with music and spirituality. Like I said in my blog, the thought of all the spirits communicating in song makes heaven sound more appealing (not that I wouldn't want to go if there wasn't music).
