    82: Do You Believe in Magic?

    We often describe music as magical, but beyond how it makes us feel, music and magic have been tied together since before written history. From magical instruments in folklore to megalomaniac composers trying to imbue their music with mystic properties, there's more to this connection than meets the eye. Settle in as Heather (with the help of a mind-blowing margarita!) explores the connection between music and magic.
