music while you work?

[David]

When you are taking out aggressions on a piece of cow hide nothing beats watching/listening to re runs of American Chopper with Jr and Sr. duking it out.

But if it has to be music.....all those guys that Jordan said.....yeah that's good stuff.

Well let's see , newer artist, Hmm... here they are George Straight, Clint Black, Trisha Yearwood, (tol' yall I was no spring chicken and no Garth Brooks or Dixie Chicks by the way.) Older artist..., Hank Williams (Don't have any Hank Williams Jr. stuff either.), George Jones, Tanya Tucker, Marty Robbins... Different stuff, Beethoven, Gospel, and a cd that came with a movie titled " Gentle Country Monments" (Stings with no vocal, probably gets played the most right now. ) Wrangler Christmas cd for the holidays (complimentary copy from the local western wear store when I bought a pair or two of jeans.) So mostly mellowish type stuff to keep from distracting me too much! (My nearly grown teenagers do that often enough and then I have to yell at them, can't think when there is too much noise. ) Used to have a local radio station that played a variety of old and new country music but they shut down and all that's left is a station that plays only new stuff. (I think it's the same four or five songs over and over, (I could be wrong, might be the same two or three.) all day and all night, or it all sounds the same, can't really tell! ) My wife has one Yannie cd (Big fat Yawn), a Celtic Christmas cd, some Kenny G, several more Gospel cds and then some Mannheim Steamroller. What can I say her friends at her work have corrupted (No wrong word), "influenced" her.(Right word.)

I have been listening to streamed internet radio of late. Other than that my tastes are rather diverse and range from 40's big band, Blues, Motown, Country which I tend to listen to mostly as I age and can no longer tolerate most (but not all) modern stuff. I must agree with David as I have a lot of American chopper on DVD and love SR and Jr going hammer and tongs with a bit of Mikey for Dufus factor comic relief. Also add.

Adrian (aka Buckaroogirl). Do yourselves a favour and check this kid out for something refreshingly different.

Riders of the purple sage

Bev Mitchell (played Lucy on 7th heaven and is now branching out into music)

When I need a little saddler type motivational music I put on full bore Jethro Tull's heavy horses

AC DC or Acca Dacca

Little bit of Reba

Terri Clark

Alison Krauss

Clannad

Sunny Cowgirls (a couple of young Aussie sisters who sing country but with an Aussie flavour.

wow- flashback! Las time I saw Taj we were on a plane together circling Burbank airport. Some problem on the ground so for 45 minutes I played mandolin and he had a dobro. Great time- good fella, good memories!!

My music tastes are pretty eclectic too. Depends on the mood I'm in. After work, I tend to like relaxing music like classical, or even some soft 50's. Weekends are usually louder like the old style country found on "Willie's Place", or maybe some bluegrass. Sometimes I just turn on a raunchy comedy station, and laugh while I work.

Having XM radio is really neat for those of us who can't make up our minds...

I listen to a bunch of different stuff. I like a lot/ mostly the old rock hard and soft. I was born country, grew up rock and roll hippie, and loved it all. I like everything from Boz Scaggs to Ricky Scaggs, Charlie Daniels to The New York Dolls, Alice Cooper, Kiss, Glen Campbell, Ann Murray, Charlie Pride, Merle Haggard, Golden Earring, Boston, really loved Bob Segar and the Silver Bullit Band, plus like some classical and Kenny G. I, like probably a lot of you download what I want and make my own CD's. I just grab a handful, stick them in and let it go, as long as it is semi loud, too loud and the wife starts complaining that she can't hear the TV, LOL. I'm trying to find I'll get you yet you little bugger you, by the Nose Pickers, If you hear it anywhere let me know. When I'm tooling I have to have something with a beat, as it helps my rythum, especially when beveling or backgrounding something. The music just helps me get it smoother. Billy P
