    I will join in with Carol on this point. And, although I do
    sometimes listen to National Public Radio while I am in the studio, I
    also spend many hours working in silence (except for the constant
    drone of the air conditioner). 

    Many of the critical and tedious steps in my work seem to progress
    the best without  the radio or musical distractions; especially stone
    setting. I am not sure if it is due to advancing age or diminishing
    eyesight, or both, but for me this activity requires a very
    one-pointed focus of attention. 

    Silence helps my concentration, and I also notice that I pay more
    mindful attention to my breathing and my posture at the bench when
    the studio is quiet.
