Still don't have all my wrist functions back, after splattering it all over
the driveway last November. Still can't do the big bombastic stuff -- but
we wouldn't want bombastic while we're eating, anyhow, would we <G>.

As anyone who has ever shared an office with me will attest, if there's no
music playing in the background -- I'll hum or sing. It's such an
ingrained habit that I don't even realize I'm doing it. So my seedlings do
get serenaded. Mostly with gospel music, though they don't seem to care
whether its a solo arrangement or four-part harmony rendered in sequence.
But the neighbors might mind, so I do tend to pipe music out to the garden.
Usually classical, 'cause I'm not tempted to sing along with that.
Sometimes the garden itself has been subjected to the really BIG bombastic
stuff -- like the 1812 Overture [yep, the one featuring real cannons!]
played loud enough to drown out the 'music' from the nearby amusement park.
