shop music?

I have over 400 Grateful Dead concerts on cds - each one different and special.

I have no problem f>

Wait...if you're truly a dead head, your eyes and brain should be so fuzzy that you need only one song..over and over cuz you can't tell the difference anyway :)

Before I retired, I had the only stereo equipped desk in the office. When I was forced to use my cubicle (I was a field type) my "Walkman" went in the drawer, plugged into a power source and a speaker system under the desk front shelf. Gerry :-)} London, Canada

The radio in the machine shop has country western on it 24/7, the radio out in the welding shed has classical on it, and the radio in the computer room has a mixture of 60s hard rock, celtic and country western ballads, when Right wing talk radio is not on the air

Things haven't been the same around here since WHN went off the air, they tried to do an FM format C&W station but it went kaput after about two years.

Any country western music one wants has to be played on the CD player.

I've become rather partial to alan jackson when doing precision assembly work.

Just got back from the dentist. Background music everywhere. Those guys do precision work and they have to concentrate. Just another data point.

Gunner, how do you stand all the radio advertising? Yuck. Those guys want me to listen to their stuff, they would have to PAY ME.

I do ultrasonic wire bonding under a microscope, with 0.001 inch diameter wire, onto pads that are maybe 100 microns square. I *always* have music playing when I'm doing this.

I think it's a right brain/left brain thing. You need to occupy the part of the brain you're not using when the other side is busy. Music does that IMO.

I prefer music that I don't mind missing if I get so focused on my work I miss a good song. A number of times all I'd remember was my walkman flipping over, so I switched over to something else mellow, like Enya or something. I'm no New Age Music dweeb, but there's a time for everything at one time or another, and that's usually when Metallica won't do for me like the high concentration tasks.

When doing tasks that don't require a lot of concentration, whatever I like best is great.

I heard an interview that singer of love songs Barry White couldn't have the radio on when he was making love. He'd get up and start listening to the music. "Whoops".

I learned in college that when typing up papers I couldn't listen to music with lyrics; words from the lyric would show up in paper. Not words/phrases, just random world.

Funny, but I've discovered that putting on the earmuffs will help me 'hear' the radio.

I'm with the guy who loads MP3s on a CD. I can get upwards of 9 hours of material on a CD. And then I don't have to change the CDs.

I've seen better systems mounted in guys tool carts than I have at home. I can hear (at least the base line) over his machine, the machine between us, and my machine. :-)

I listen to CW in the shop, not too loud, but don't "hear" much of it as I kinda tune it out when I'm working on something. But, a few years back, when my youngest (at the time, he was about

Im within 35 miles of Bakersfield, also known as Nashville West. We have at least 3 C&W stations on FM, and a number on AM. Very active, well known, wins awards everyyear.

KUZZ also gives away free tickets by the handful to listeners, for concerts at the Crystal Palace, and other local hotspots of C&W.

I figured out the value of concert tickets that the wife has won in the last year alone..and its wll over $10,000

In this area..Id have to say that most office and residential phones have KUZZ on their speed dials.

I have the same problem with having a TV on in the background.

I did it once. Will never again let that happen, as my wife watched me watching TV while doing my thing long enough to get her really, really pissed off! Ruined the rest of the evening, for sure!
