[Margaret Pilkington]

I take your point.
We had a surgeon who would only work if he could have his music player on in theatre.
The sad thing was he liked Mahler...not music that sets my soul on fire.
Listening to that during ops was torture...I am just glad the patients(at that time) were soundly asleep.
The same ops these days are done under spinal so they would have to be given ear plugs...except that this surgeon is no longer on the earthly plane.

Some of what is termed music, isn't music...it is just noise.

I have very wide tastes in music....from Pink Floyd to Puccini...from the Beatles to Beethoven.
When the mechanics serviced my car they always said they were surprised at the music that was in my car...meaning it was to their taste and something they did not expect to find being listened to by a batty old bird.
