Question: Throwback to an old thread

[Matthew Evans]

What do you guys like to listen to at the bench to get you in the zone? I like silence when i really want to focus, but everyones got an opinion, so tell me yours!

 

[Chujybear]

mr bungle, sepultura, tool, ennio morricone, news

 

[monk]

classical music works 4 me. gatemouth brown is good too, but one cant possibly engrave whilst listening to him.

 

[mitch]

Usually the radio with country, classic rock, or some pop, but lately they're all "ALL COVID-19 ALL THE %$&#ING TIME!!!!!" so I've been going thru my CD collection. That's all over the musical map, but a lot of artists that were never quite fully mainstream stars in any genre- Melissa Etheridge, Lyle Lovett, Bonnie Raitt, John Prine, Jerry Jeff Walker, et. al. There's also a 'Best of Janis Joplin' disc in my vehicle that's been getting cranked up whenever I have any reason to go anywhere...

 

[Goldjockey]

Musically, everything. Most of the time though, I'm fully immersed in the work, and if I'm really listening to anything it's the pitch and cadence of the hand piece I'm working with as I cut.

 

[papart1]

Eric Clapton........Jackson Brown.................etc and close behind Mr. Clapton is Mr. Joe Walsh

 

[gtsport]

Vivaldi's four seasons, or the Dead Milkmen

Your mouth to God's ears Mitch!

Put all the stuff I want to listen to into iTunes some time ago. Today I've got the Mavericks on shuffle. Tomorrow Beau Soleil? Lately on a country/cajun/bluegrass rotation.

Usually the radio (classic rock) and the drone of the gravermeister. Sometimes headphones good cds to block the world and chip away...

Here Mitch, a little somethin’ different for ya to listen to...

Doesn’t matter what I listen to... music, news or YouTube when I engrave. It all gets tuned out when I’m concentrating.

 

[Roger Bleile]

Baroque, ie. Bach, Vivaldi, Mozart, et al.

 

[FANCYGUN]

Roger you do know that when you are BAROQUE you are out of MONET

After teaching for 33 yrs and then going home to engrave...I appreciated total silence I still rarely play any music while working as I now find it distraction being so use to quiet

ennio morricone and the spagetti western genre is always good traveling music when driving

 

[jerrywh]

Like Marty. I enjoy total silence. I guess that is why I like the wilderness.

 

[rweigel]

Mostly Jazz, Jazz Rock, sometimes Blues.... prefer not too high bpm

 

[Big-Un]

Mostly Christian Contemporary, four part harmony, 50's and 60's Rock and roll. Tried listening to news radio, it made me mad, literally and figuratively! But, silence seems to be the best.

Raul Malo, Mavericks:

 

[mitch]

I saw The Mavericks open for somebody (Bonnie Raitt? Lyle Lovett? Mary Chapin Carpenter?) at Red Rocks twenty-some-odd years ago. They put on a great show!

They do put on a great show! Amazingly versatile too. Love their latin stuff.

Don't know if you like Cajun music, Mitch but I came across this playlist on YouTube and aside from the occasional ads, it's great! There's a little bluegrass, and old country mixed in too, but I love it all!

[Leland Davis]

From classic rock to new rock.
