I listen to Sirius all the time. But try the RADClassic channel. I think it is 82. It plays all the old Radio shows!! Gunsmoke, Boston Blackie, Jack Benny Show, etc.... My favorite one to listen to.

What timing. Yesterday picked up our new car and I immediately put on the Sirius Radio. My brother calls it Serious radio and has it in his condo.
I am trying to find that 50 on 5 but I would have to move sewing to the car.

Until now---I discovered Sirius Satellite Radio--For those of us who grew up in the 50's, having this fun music that you can actually sing along to takes all the boredom out of it. In the last 3 hours I have cut all the strips for a lap quilt and sewn half of the strips together,. Right now I'm listening to Shout, Shout a little louder now---Anyone else remember these?

This sounds just like me too - audio books are the greatest, I only would get a chance to read a book when on an airline flight which wasn't often, now I've "read" lots - one of the latest was THE HELP - movie due out soon!!! can't wait....

I have Sirius Radio in the car that I bought at the end of last year. It came with 3 free months. Now I know why!!! I cannot stand to listen to regular radio anymore. Mostly I listen to 50's on 5 or 60's on 6. It so nice not to have all the yada, yada, yada now in the car while driving. Wish I had it in the house too!!!

I have a TV hanging on the wall above the sewing machine, I only watch or listen to HGTV or DIY. I just like the noise.

I love my iPod. It's wireless and goes to the Bose speakers and I can jam when quilting. Sometimes I just do not realize I have been sewing for hours. Music makes me happy.
