I sometimes wonder if writers need silence, the radio on, or if they listen to music. I choose the latter, something restful in the background. Sometimes my searches for good music bring up some real gems..

Two of them are these, Caroline Harrison and Amy Wadge. Have a listen. You may enjoy the experience.
