Music and the Lady Upstairs

I don't know what it is about Christmas but to me, one of the most important things about is the high quality of the music. Right now on the radio, you can find all kinds of soulful moving melodies.

It's early in the morning in the residence and usually, I don't have the music on. And if I do I put on the headphones. But I have a rather unruly neighbour with a noise problem and I have been advised when she starts to bother me, put on the music.

It's actually a funny feeling because until now I have been firmly told to stop making noise. However, my neighbour has had free rein for years.

So picture this. It's in the middle of the night and it's black outside. All of a sudden the lady starts to do her take on wailing and I fumble for the clicker to turn on the radio. In the black of night strands of classic music surround me. And the lady's noise is not so important.

Now I have had many people complaining about music and noise. So despite the beautiful sound, I listen with one ear to that loud knock on the door. The lady upstairs is clearly audible. My music as well. The door remains silent. And the music continues until the lady's dreams subside or I remember to turn off the music.
