Question #3: “Can you listen to music and write? What song did you hear today?” 

My Response: No, I never listen to music while writing. I want dead complete silence.

I tried very hard to remember if I heard any music at all today and the answer is zero nothing no. I didn't go shopping, never play my automotive sound system, and only ventured out for supper at a restaurant which had no music. bam-WRONG-bam!!! I suddenly remembered that the long table of people in the far corner sang the Happy Birthday song to someone, but I was at the cash register paying out, so I didn't see them. I also "sang" Happy Birthday to the state of South Dakota shortly after midnight TWICE because it has two time zones. SoDak turned 122 years old today. So quite by accident the first and last song of my day will be the same one. There was no music in between unless you count my cell phone ring tone, the noise of the dishwasher, clothes washer or dryer. I do not.
