Hey Goose does that mean tomorrow is manic Monday

 

............Depends if I am suffering from double vision that day...................

 

 ah The Land of Confusion we live in

 

Troubled times indeed, but I just think back to the words Lale Andersen sang so long ago:

" auf jeden Dezember folgt wieder ein Mai " 

and those sung more recently by Su Kramer in the German production of Hair:

" Wenn der Mond im 7. Hause steht

und Jupiter auf Mars zugeht

herrscht Frieden unter den Planeten

lenkt Liebe ihre Bahn

Genau ab dann regiert die Erde der Wassermann

regiert sie der Wassermann

der Wassermann, der Wassermann!"

Depends on what I'm working on.  Theme music for the model, I suppose.  Say I'm working on a WWII Corsair or Hellcat, then it's the soundtrack from "Victory at Sea". ......

Do you have the CD version or the 2nd Volume LP release containing the bombardment intro for Allies on the March:

I just play my favorite CD, over and over.

"Broderick Crawford sings hits from Peter Pan."

Soothing.

Sports.  I tend to tune it out to some extent but every once in while (when there is bunch of cheering for example) I tune back and get a score update.  If there isn't any sports on, then XM radio tuned to Deep Tracks or Classic Rock.

For me ...it's the mid 70s -- 80s hard rock and the sound of a hi comp long derasoin big block chevy ....u know. So hi that it doesn't want to start right away. ..now that music to my ears 

I recently picked up a Checkflight P-51 CD for $1 from the local Goodwill.........

already have the A6M5 Zero and Bf-109G CDs.

Nothing like the sound of a 1,000 + HP engine rattling the windows in the workshop.

Like some have mentioned here I'm all over the map. I've got about 250 gigs of classic rock, some country and some of the more hard rock selections so it's whatever strikes me at this time I guess. I tend to build at around 3:30-6 a.m. though so I can't just crank it up. lol

No music for me.  I just upgraded from a 21 inch tv to a 40 inch LED tv.  So it's WWII movies Sci-Fi,  or satellite.

........and I thought I was the last holdout. 

In our world nothing is weird Tanker.....it's great too hear from all of you on the different types of music,audio books,sports radio and talk radio you listen to while at the workbench

Doc Watson, Ma Bell and the Carter Family, Lonesome Too, Seldom Scene, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band Will The Circle Be Unbroken, Earl Scruggs. Oh yeah, and some Frank Zappa when I'm in that mood. Or some Frank Sinatra when I'm in that mood. Some have suggested medications for my moods. I just turn up the volume or put my headphones on.

I listen to old radio shows. Jack Benny, Abbott and costell, etc. 

I have a 120GB iPod Classic that has about 7700 songs on it, and the genres run the gamut from Hank, Sr., to Billy Joel, to Evinescence, to Mozart, to bluegrass, to bagpipes, to marches, and to everything else except hip-hop & rap. I put it on random play, so I never know what's coming up next.

Although I have large CD and album collections, I tend to use Rhapsody while I am at the bench. I have numerous playlists that range from classical, country, big band, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, etc rock, new age and jazz. I'll listen to about any kind of music except hiphop or rap.... or any autotune stuff. Being a guitarist and having played in a number of bands, I lean towards guitar music the most.

You know, I find that my background music is determined by what point I'm at, opening,de-sprueing, sanding ,filling; rock maybe Metallica, maybe Stones?, fitting,assembly, up to priming;maybe Eagles, John Prine ?, painting,detailing,etc; Van Morrison, maybe classical. Hope you get my drift. Merry Christmas
