Hi John ... You've discovered one of the great pleasure for a photographer - developing film and the enjoyment of music combined. Last night was Tri-X night here, accompanied by some country music - Wayne Hancock's "Thunderclouds and Neons Signs" and the sound track to "Horse Whisperer". Listening to the music while actually processing the film gives me a little lift. Tonight will be a sixties festival, with the Shirelles and some Phil Spector produced tracks.
I hope you have many more chances to be "self-indulgent".
