If I had a radio on I'd probably sew everything up askew. I am so prone to distractions. Maybe because I'm bored? Hmmm. Bring on that James Brown!!!

I can get old radio shows through my Roku. Great fun while doing any work. BTW, thinking of boring tasks, I listened to late night AM stations with 30-40-50s music while stripping wallpaper winter evenings. Didn't have reception in the daytime. :?:

I only have Sirius in the car and listen to 50's & 60's. Love those songs. At home through our TV cable I can get a channel and it's called Malt Shop which plays this era. Sure brings back a lot of memories.

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?

I have discovered Pandora - it's free and it's on the internet or, what I use, is the internet from my phone(I then plug my phone into speakers). I love to listen to the oldies when I'm sewing. I lose focus when the TV is on.

I use Netflix while I am quilting. I put on shows I want to mostly listen to and will sit back and watch for a short break from time to time.
But I do love my Sirius in the car, I drive a ton and love being able to pick out music I actually like on it. :)
