Music is the food of love,according to poets. And classical music,it seems,may be fine rain for restaurants. The music of Mozart,Bach and Beethoven played in restaurants makes diners feel richer and encourages them to spend money,according to the research made by the University of Leicester in centralEngland.

“When you hear a piece of music,it activates(激活) all types of knowledge,^ said Adrian North,a senior lecturer in psychology at a university who carried out tests in a restaurant near Leicester over a period of three weeks. “If you hear classical music，it gives you the feeling of wealth and it makes you feel a bit noble.In a restaurant,this has the effect of making you spend a bit more money. ” Researchers found that classical music，often connected with wealth,was the most successful in encouraging people to pay cash,with diners spending more than 24 pounds a head.

But when the music was Britney Spears’，diners spent less than 22 pounds a head，they found. With no background music，spending fell to around 21 pounds. “Where people were really spending the money was on the luxurious(奢侈的) things，such as desserts and coffees，” said James Davis， owner of Softleys Restaurant in Market Bosworth，where the research was carried out. He also said, “I think this research will certainly affect what we will play in the future. ”

Since my retirement(退休) from teaching music in 2001，I have spent a good deal of time painting as an artist. I actually began drawing again in the summer of 1995 when my father died,so perhaps I was trying to recover from the loss of my father,or maybe it was just that it brought back memories of him. In any case，I drew pen and ink animals and landscapes(风景画) much influenced by Krenkel and St. John for five years.

For some strange reason，I had been waiting until my retirement to start doing watercolours again,but as soon as I walked out of the school door for the last time I picked up my brushes and rediscovered Andrew Wyeth,who quickly became my favourite artist. I had looked through all the art books I had on my shelves and found his watercolours to be the closest to how I thought good watercolours should look. So I painted landscapes around Minnesota for three years and tried out many other types of painting. However,watercolours remained my first choice，and I think I did my best work there,showing my paintings at a number of art exhibitions.

Art is now together with my piano playing and reading. There is a time for everything in my world，and it is wonderful to have some time doing what

I want to do. As Confucius once said, “At seventy I can follow my heart’s desire.”
