My children grew up traveling. My oldest daughter had a 1 week road trip when she was about 2 weeks old. They were used to travel sand never did give any trouble! They knew what my mother used to say "Children are to be seen and not heard!"

The only time we had a problem was when we landed at Ankara airport after a trip home, and walking to the arrivals building, my 4-year old son asked me, "is this Turkey?". When I replied in the affirmative he burst into tears wailing, "I din't want to come to Turkey"; but he did calm down before we got to passport control.

No, and he was happy enough when we got back to our apartment.

Nice! Mine was the same way. The stewardesses were happy and grateful for that.

Easy to do - I read what I intended to write as well...

Don't ask: I spent most of it - literally most of it, 3 hours - on hold to my local council. Three "songs", all quiet so you can't just put it on speaker and get on with stuff. And worse, every now and then the music cuts out in mid song for five or so seconds, giving you the illusion of hope that you are about to speak to a real human! Then their phone lines closed because it was 13:00 on POETS day...  
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I've dealt with the same hold system. Actually, I guess all phone hold systems work like that.
I don't understand why the phone hold systems are so terrible. It ain't rocket science.
Just play music until a real person picks up. What is so difficult about that?

The Gathering - My Electricity[^]
Last week I've been listening to The Gathering, a pretty (internationally) famous Dutch rock band.
You may know them from their former singer, Anneke van Giersbergen, who is also known for her solo projects Agua de Annique and VUUR (Dutch for Fire) or one of her many collaborations with other artists.
I've known them for a long time, listen to them once in a while, always enjoy it, but never really got into it like I got with other bands.
Except for a few songs, of which My Electricity is one.
My Electricity is an older and not-so-rocking song, but beautiful.
So enjoy, and do yourself a favor and listen to some other songs as well

Honestly. the only Dutch rock band I'm aware of is Golden Earring, So I wouldn't know if any other radar lovers are gone!

They're probably the best known (and still existing) international Dutch rock band, but the only Dutch rock band who scored a #1 hit in America was Shocking Blue - Venus[^].
And then there's Focus[^] with guitar player Jan Akkerman who had the title of best guitar player in the world some 40 years ago.
And surely you've heard of George Baker - Little Green Bag[^] from Tarantino's Reservoir Dog's, also Dutch 
I don't know any current international famous bands though... 
But I'm sure there are a few

They're fun to look at, especially the girl(s) on the right, but the a cappella isn't really my thing...
I'll be sure to bring $2 more though

I agree, that's the prettiest of the lot

You're saying music/song isn't sound? 
This once started out as Song of the Week, but then I posted music which wasn't technically a song and people like you started complaining...
So now it's called Sound of the Week, and yeah, that sound just so happens to be a song or piece of music every week
