what do you folks listen to when you carve at your repective shops?

me...kinda everything

mehndelshon e min concerto {stern}
ellison qaurtet
hank williams junior 3
megadeath

for example

as i find this quite a interesting observation

certain music aids to certain tasks better than others...

bending ribs, requires peaceful music, while rough gouging requires the symphony of destruction

I have a very eclectic taste in music.
If it is good I like it and listen to it.
recently it has been a lot of Ray Charles, vivialdi Flute Concertos, Led Zeppelin, Tchaikovsky, and a fantastic collection of Irish Fiddle music given to me By Jose, a Cuban /Puerto Rican American who recently moved to Israel and is studying irish fiddle in his spare time.

When I got my shop stereo a few years back, it was on full tilt ... now I find when i have serious production work, I need peace and quiet to concentrate! Quiet improves my focus and clarity... maybe I am getting too old to do two things at once... wish I were young like you !
Cheers, Mat

I have to agree with Mat. I like piece and quiet.

I don't have a work shop nor have I really started working on any projects yet. But I never listen to the radio in my car, at work, at home..never. It stresses me out. Even talking about it I get worked up.

Last Christmas there was a contest to win ticket to a Trans Siberian concert. All you had to do was listen for (barking dogs) in between all the songs, and call. I gave up after 15 mins cause I couldn't take it. My husband thought it was funny and was laughing at me. It is funny now....but I was really worked up. And I never got to go anyways Crying or Very sad

If I do listen to music it's on CD's and once in a blue moon. And a huge variety, from Glen Miller to Celtic, Classic Rock, Gotta love those Blue Men, Native American, 30's & 40's, I could go on forever. But again most the time it's the birds, the wind in the trees and me with my thoughts that keep me sane. Wink

Irish fiddle tunes non-stop. It's a sickness I have. Wink
