Subject: The silence in between From: Clare Langan
I loved your article about music in restaurants [Feb]. I’m a musician and I find that having music playing while I try to enjoy a meal and conversation is distracting. Rather like biting into Proust’s madeleine, music triggers powerful memories for many people, and I don’t always want to be reminded of things music brings up. I can choose not to eat something on a menu for this reason but, as for the music, I have no control over it.
