I'm in design phase now for a pretty much classical piece on the order
of a Townsend double chest.
As I'm sketching and scratching it is a great help to me to have Bach
the elder playing the Concerto #3 in G major: allegro in the
background.
It is exactly the right piece of music for this exercise and I am
playing it on a loop.
Most tunes would get boring used in this way - but not this piece by
brother Bach.
I wonder how many other guys put music to the task like this.

The most fun you can have is playing 'Woolly Bully' by Sam the Sham
and the Pharoahs at 110 dB while using your framing nailer. Neighbors

When working on a Townsend double chest, it is mandatory to listen to
The Who.
Okay, that was bad....
I listen to everything. I live by Glen Miller's credo: "If it sounds
good, it probably is."
But I do notice a difference in selection when I'm drawing vs
dimensioning boards on the planer. Grieg, Paganinni, Mozart, nothing
like a good fix of baroque to stimulate the creative juices.
But, in the shop, XM 40 (Deep Tracks) is almost always on. They play
the most eclectic old rock: Joe Walsh, Kinks, Who, Zep, Buffalo
Springfield, Neil, 10cc (10cc RULES!!) a lot of 'singable' stuff....
But.. I'll give BARRY's XM 80 a try today... I'll get back to you on
that...*G*

Tom,
I also enjoy classical music in the shop. I'm not sure a lengthy list
is in order here but I find Mozart's concertos for clarinet, oboe and
bassoon very satisfying. By the way, the clarinet concerto was used
in the film " Out of Africa". They allow repetition without getting
stale.

It's interesting that you mention "Take Five." I was thinking about
how much I love it, but the difference is that it is not an
improvisational piece. There's a very appealing melody going.
I'm not familiar with Four Play. I'll check them out.

You have a recording of Bach playing his own concerto? Wow!
Recording technology must be a lot older than anyone ever thought.
When I'm in the mood I have several CDs I've burned with compilations
of 50s & 60s R&R. (Starting in 1956 and nothing older than 1968.)
Sanding in time to "Summertime Blues" or "Devil With The Blue Dress
On" gives me a better surface.

Perhaps in a similar vein, I was exposed one April morning to The

It was as eery as it was fantastic. I was spell-bound.

Try "Kind of Blue" by Miles Davis and crew. And take a look at the
crew: Paul Chambers, James Cobb, Coltrane, Bill Evans, Wynton Kelly. It
doesn't get better. The Brubeck album runs a very close second.

I like the music of the New College Choir, Oxford. I've been trying to
preach about choral stuff for a long time (having spent some time doing
it). Give a listen to composer Dmitri Bortnyanski (sp?) and to a lot of

Looks like it will be a semi-regular for us. BTW, in a battle of the

Probably share a lot of members, but the final sound was better, more

Yes, many years ago when I was a sprout and attending a fund raiser. I
heard, IIRC, The USMC Jazz band.
Da Missus and I are keeping an eye out for something we might like to
take others to. VERY few of our associates & friends have ever attended
such an event so it can be hard to put a decent foursome together
because so many of them are flat-out-reluctant to go.
Every summer Schoolcraft Community College hosts a FREE jazzfest with
maybe 3-4 concurrent performances all day long with everything from
avant guard to big-band jazz. They feature perhaps 30 different groups
over the course of the day with a couple at a time in tents and a couple
indoors.
A number of those appearing are familiar recording artists ... so it's a
good day of music.

There is a Methodist church in the town where I used to live that did

While we have different tastes, I do have a few CD's that do the same thing

changes one more thing it wouldn't be as painful to part with the $800 they
wanted) I find that a little Pantera gets me going in the right direction

A high point of our Christmas season is singing in a chorus of may 125-150
voices, singing Handel's Messiah, with an orchestra of maybe 60 players.
We're on our 14th year, but this group has been going on for about 35
seasons.
It's nice to have a change of pace.

First tenor. With one of my sons also a tenor, another a baritone, wife
and a daughter-in-law in the soprano section, and another son playing lead
bassoon. It's really very special. Three performances a season, after two
months of Sunday evening practices.
It's not at all like singing in the church choir. ;-)

After thinking about why I don't like classical in the shop, I realized
that I don't passively listen to it. Listening to classical music
becomes a activity in itself, I can actually get tired doing it.

Have you ever seen the Detroit Symphony?
We had a saxophonist (yeah, I said that right <G>) from the Detroit
Symphony do a guest appearance here in Hartford two or three years
ago. Different, but FANTASTIC show, but it left the blue hairs very
confused. <G>
Edward Cummings, the current Hartford conductor, has also done Detroit
stints.
Well Tempered Caliver on Harpsichord and Brandenburg #3 and #5.

You sing in it?
I know from experience that being in the midst of something like that
is fan-freakintastic! <G>
Excellent!
