I need something in the backgroud to break the silence. I have tinitus which makes silence deafening. If I'm frame quilting it's music with a beat - Garth Brooks - if it's piecing then - Kenny G. TV is reruns - I can "watch" it in my mind as I listen to the dialog-LOL! The sign on my door reads "Beware - Do Not Disturb! - I'm quilting and my needle's loaded!"
