I've been on a kick about Ricky Tims lately. Anyone know him? LOL

Thanks for this idea.....kill two birds. I listen to Southern Gospel.

I have my radio tuned to christian music.
You know the old saying: what goes in, comes out.

Most of the time I listen to an audiobook, but if the sewing requires a lot of concentration (difficult to piece block,etc.) I turn on the contemporary Christian radio station.

All of the above plus radio, Neil Diamond older songs from his Hot August Night album, Via Dela Rosa by Sandi Patti, Boccelli, and just about anything depending on my mood at the moment.

everything from medieval to punk... i love music even more than i love fabric, so it runs the gamut! if i'm working on a specific "era", though, i tend to listen to that time's music. a 30's repro fabric or pattern just screams for that time's music to be played. ditto with 40's , 50's, etc.

when i sew costuming or garb, same deal. renaissance garb demands music from those times. it's my own kind of time machine, i guess.

Generally easy listening New Age...Yanni, George Winston, Susan Boyle, and the new one by Jackie Evancho - 'Dream With Me'. (She sings 'A Mother's Prayer" with Susan Boyle on that one and it nearly brought me to tears!).
I also go with music of the '50's and early 60's and Broadway. Hawaiian, Japanese, Celtic...
Toss in classical...but no really hard rock or whatever the "younger generation" choses to listen to. Not to my taste.
