I had to laugh at that as I looked around at our little two person family. Our XM radio was playing while GoodGuy watched the golf channel (muted) with "sub titles" running. On the other end of the room I'm downloading albums from eMusic, and adding that music to my MP3 player. Now as I'm writing this post, I'm listening to that music on headphones.
Our family is all about music---though GoodGuy and I don't perform music, we are great appreciators and consumers. Both of our mothers were singers and his sister has a beautiful soprano voice and plays keyboard instruments. Both of my sisters are great harmonizers, in the sections supporting the melody. Among us we have some guitar players, horn players, singers and band members among the kids and grandkids. My aunts and uncles sang in barbershop quartets and other groups, and one of my aunts was a wonderful pianist and accompanist.
I was astonished to learn that there are people who don't even hear music when it's playing in a store or business. I feel sad for them, because loving music has been a huge pleasure in my life.
Keep smiling, and hum yourself a great tune.
