Disharmony
Music can cement relationships but it can also end them ...
Adrian Wallace is 30 years old and an absolute Shakin' Stevens fan:
"Around 4 or 5 girlfriends have left me as a result of my love for Shakin' Stevens. I've liked him ever since I was 12. A friend introduced me to 'This Old House' and after that I was hooked. I've got about 60 singles and 70 albums. Money's no object when it comes to some of the Shakeys I want."
Jack writes music for the Theatre - show tunes:
I'm interested in anything musical, anything from Rent to Sondheim. I live in a house with Sarah who lives in the room next to me. We have paper thin walls, I admit. A couple of days a week I teach and have to get up at 6.00. By the time I come home, the last thing I want when I come home is for Sarah to come home and play her Beethoven as loud as she can. I scream. Sometimes it gets so much, it boils up in my head and I can't take it anymore. I get recurring dreams now in which all I hear is Beethoven - they're almost nightmares."
Sarah, on the other hand, finds Jack's musical taste equally awful:
His music is so basic, banal. It just makes my skin crawl. He plays it so loudly. I have no control over it. His compositions are like something you'd compose for GCSE music.
