Do You Hear What I Hear? –another Masters moment in Augusta

Hear that?

From a recent Wall St. Journal article on The Masters golf tournament:

For TV viewers, the distinctive sounds of the Masters

include CBS’s tinkly introductory theme,

constant birdsong in the background

(apparently all natural, but CBS wouldn’t confirm)

and the extra dash of syrup in Jim Nantz’s voice.

For players and spectators at Augusta National, however,

frequent sonic detonations

from around the course

supercharge the atmosphere.

Over the course of this weekend (no pun intended), many who read this will be in a worship service.  Have you and I ever noticed the ambient sounds?  Not just the music, not just a baby crying, but the distinctive sounds of the place that add to the atmosphere?  Or maybe they detract from it…

I’d love to hear from you (again, no pun intended) about this.

And I’ll pay attention to the audio background as well.

Wonder what all we’ll notice.

See you back here soon.
