AAM part 3- music

Sorry about the delay in posting my AAM updates, but as stated in the first post- Loki's Birthday, and Taxes.

Thor, through his perception of life, as a kid with an ASD, has given me a whole new appreciation of music. Music is EVERYWHERE! The wind in the trees, the rain on the window, road noises, and my personal favorite, the different pitches and tones made by stairs. Wooden stairs sound different than concrete, slatted wood sound different than a solid peice, grates of iron sound different than steel, and the distance the stair is from the ground matters, too.

When I was a kid, hell, even now, as an adult, I ADORE the stairs at the Science Museum at my state. They are musical. They are wired to a system of chimes and are so much fun to run, jump, skip, etc on. Thor loves stomping on any stairs, in any manner to make music.

Thor also loves the music in games. Not the preprogrammed music, but the music made my blowing up balls, birds flying, etc...

I have a whole new appreciation of where and what music is because of him.
