I love you baaaby, and if it's quite alright I need you baaaby to warm the lonely night . . .

Good music!

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.

My little TV is at my back when I'm sewing, but there are many shows I enjoy just listening to. I listen to cooking shows, pray with EWTN, and when I'm hand stitching --OR RIPPING -- I swivel in my chair and watch a bit. I even listen to movies. BUT I do enjoy working in silence. Of course, occasionally I hear my own voice. :lol:

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

I might have to invest in Sirius radio.

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!! :-)
Ditto - I can go thru several audio books while quilting. I hook my iPod up to external speakers and I can hear the book while sewing or pressing....love it!
