It's so interesting to realize that songs that we sing to other people in a joking fashion can really be considered a part of the musical fabric in our day-to-day lives.
Trevor's blog provided a varying snapshot- ranging from pre-recorded music to live song- of his musical "soundtrack" within a 24 hour period.
Nice work Trevor. I particularly liked the moments when you talked about people singing to themselves. It seems like people have a number of methods of maintaining their own little soundscape!
