Easy listening...

Sometimes I listen to basketball games (Sacramento Kings), although it has been a little more painful than usual this year. Other times it is on the local alternative rock station.

Matt’s pod casts in my iPod also work.

I usually have on the “new oldies” station which is 70s-80’s rock and roll. Of course I wear hearing protection and the shop tools can be loud at times, so I do not always hear it. But, it is nice to have some good music in the background for the times between the noise. It is strange, because I usually like quiet when I am working on the computer now a days. I my corporate life, many times I wore headphones and listened to a CD on my PC while working.

I used to think there was only two types of music..Country and Western. Now days having three great grown kids with a wide variety of music tastes I listen to everything from oldies to country to new age..from Jimmy Buffet to Nora Jones, Limbaugh to O’Reilly and everything in between.

I am all for a variety of music, but not Rap.

Classic Rock, Classic Country Rock ( Eagles, Poco, Pure Prairie league etc.) and sometimes the new country if I am in the mood)

New Country. I can’t quite handle the Twang from the old Country & Western :-)

I like having the radio going, just for some ambiance and usually to just “ignore”. I used to hate it on while at the computer (designing, reading or writing – to distracting), but if it helps drown out the background “white noise and chatter” then I’m good.

Working with Dad these past months, I really notice the quiet of my shop, so I got a belt clip speaker for my ipod… can hear exactly what I like… and it follows me around (without any dangerous cords)

I got 12” speakers hung from 12’ up so that I can overpower the noisy tools. But I also ignore the music usually.

(my brain has too much to think about without being distracted by music playing in the background). I love to think.

One day I’ll be playing the blues and the next I might bring up a swing from the 40’s. Love my bluegrass as much as I love to rock and roll. If I start getting short tempered I’ll put on some comedy. I enjoy my XM radio…and I hate commercials…even when I sound like one!
