Well said!  I'm a musician, and I have a hard time with music as
"background" in almost any situation; especially when I'm doing
something like paddling, biking, hiking, etc.

Even when I sit here at the computer, I don't listen to music.  When I
do listen to music, that's all I do.  Perhaps it's because music is so
important to me that I don't like to mix it with other activities, as
it takes my full attention and distracts me from whatever else I'm
doing and/or thinking about.  When I listen to music, that's all I
want to be doing.

I just can't imagine *any* circumstance where I'd want music to
accompany my paddling, as each is totally involving for me, and
therefore mutually exclusive.
