Fine article. I read as I was listening to the Beatles. Some years ago, I read an article by a model airplane hobbyist who put forth the notion that building was a more satisfying pastime than music, because it involved more of the senses. Even though I'm also a model builder, I did not agree. Music touches us in a way that nothing else does. I remember a bit from a book by Carl Sagan in which he notes musical instruments of some sort are some of the most commonly found things in archaeology sites pointing mankind's great need to create music.

As someone with no musical ability besides whistling I agree that music is the first art. Music and song.
It is the most primordial and affects the basic senses more than any other.
It is also the least vulnerable--every other art requires various machinery and instrument but oral music does not.
Oral storytelling would come after music and song.
