You can get free radio on your computer by logging onto PandoraRadio.com. You choose the type of music you like, set the volume and enjoy!
I use it on my laptop and just close the lid and its great!

Bringing back memories. I love oldies shows and watch TMC and love to listen to audio books too. Music distracts me because I want to jump up and dance so best to stick to my old movies and books on cd.
Direct tv has music channels for 50's, 60's etc so that is ok for some. What a fun topic.

I have to say my favorite music of all time is from the 50s. It's just so upbeat and brings back some great memories. I was actually a teen in the 60s but loved the older music. Don't understand why the current radio stations rarely play it.

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?
But I like audio books free from the library, those make the boring time fly by!

If I'm listening to a really good mystery/suspense novel, it can even help me work longer at weeding the garden while I wait to find out whodunit!! :-)
