Church chimes
Something I always liked when I was a little kid was the sound of the chimes that came from the bell tower of the Methodist Church. I heard them every Sunday morning, and I never got tired of it. Some Sundays they seemed louder and clearer than on other days. I guess that might have depended on which way the wind was blowing.
