<p>[QUOTE=&quot;silverthwait, post: 46111, member: 103&quot;]LOL!&nbsp; Shiloh -- my grandmother was a musician who had perfect pitch and an innate sense of where music should go.&nbsp; Much as she loved us, visiting at our home was an exquisite torture for her.&nbsp; My parents had a Westminster chime clock which was kept in the dining room.&nbsp; My grandmother&#039;s room was as far away as possible, but, although the clock really wasn&#039;t very loud, in the country quiet of the night it could be heard anywhere in the house.</p><p><br /></p><p>My poor grandmother!&nbsp; She managed to sleep through the hour, the quarter-after, and the half-after, but the quarter-of woke her <i>every</i> time.&nbsp; The music ends on an unfinished (something -- I am not a musician so I forget the terminology), and she absolutely HAD to wait for the finish.&nbsp; She would come down to breakfast looking as if she had slept on a fence post![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
