Click on that link and you will find out about J.R.R. Tolkien's relationship with the Beatles, besides they both hail from England. In case you don't want to read from the source, The Beatles wanted to make a Lord of the Rings movie and Tolkien, who still owned all of the rights at the time, refused. There's a fantastic passage written by Tolkien in there, which I share below:

“In addition, in a house three doors away dwells a member of a group of young men who are evidently aiming to turn themselves into a Beatle Group. On days when it falls to his turn to have a practice session the noise is indescribable.”
The reason this is so interesting to me is that I would love to explore the manner that people practice music, whether vocals (in the shower doesn't count), drums, guitar, piano, sax or anything else for that matter. It seems as if almost everyone practices in a basement/garage/basic home structure but there are definitely negatives to this process. Does anybody use a service that rents out studio space? What are the cost structures involved? Are there other more creative ways that you guys may have used to effectively practice music with the least annoyance to others? Share any thoughts at all!
