Well, actually the prompt was “What song makes you cringe when it comes on the radio (or iPad or Pandora or…) and why?” but I had to tweak it somehow. 🙂 because then the post would be over in one line and we can’t have that, can we? Aside from the techno genre, I can go with most things happily enough. Music is a mood-thing. Sometimes I enjoy hard rock, sometimes ballads, sometimes, hip-hop, a-Capella, demo tapes, rap….just about anything. Our house is always filled with our eclectic taste in music. The three of us have different tastes and enjoy all kinds of music. And you gotta admit music soothes, energizes, satisfies, delights!
But there are a dozen sounds that make me cringe.Â

A dozen sounds I would rather hear:

- Sound of pigeons pecking grain from my metal plate
What sounds do you love?
