Had a casette player given to me recently, so i dug out my old casettes. everything from Nat King Cole to Liberache & lots more. Really enjoying it! Almost done with my baargello top.

I prefer the sounds of silence or my own wheels turning. No music except that I make inside my own head. No TV definitely!! No radio!! If the weather permits, the window open lets in the music of nature, which is my most favorite to listen to.

i love music--even more than fabric! (blush) i seem to listen to something related to what i'm working on. if it's reproduction fabric, i go for the era--like the'30s, '40s, etc. if it's funky and modern, i go with something like florence and the machine, grace potter, gogol bordello. if it's rainy outside, i put on renaissance era music. and my default mode, lately, has been trace adkins, brad paisley, craig morgan, etc.

i'm starting a civil war reproduction, so i have to unearth some 1860s stuff, now--any excuse to get new music--or more fabric...

Thank goodness for XM. My usual preference is for classical with the exception of the Germans of the late romantic era and English of late romantic and 20th C. I find all of them boring. Love Beethoven from the beginning of earlier romantic era, Shubert, Schumann too. Can't stand what I call Viennese schmaltz and saccharine ballet. Otherwise love just about everything from Rennaisance to some 20th C. Also like older jazz, big band with Sinatra and others of that era and I love Willie Nelson. Pretty eclectic and that's why I love my satellite radio. Never watch TV. How can you watch anything while quilting? Even have trouble with books on IPod if I have to do any thinking. IPod goes to gym and in car.
