My husband and I differ greatly on what we like to hear, I prefer music and he prefers noise. I espeially like soothing classical as opposed to his laud yelling and banging. The only place I can listen to my music is our guest room (my sewing corner is in it) and sometime I practice my songs for our community theater. Wish you could all come see our versions of "Fiddler on the Roof" "Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat" and "Music Man":)
