Thank you Denni,
I just searched Pandora Radio for Chris Botti....I too, am now madly in love with his music....Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

I usually have the TV on something I don't actually have to watch. Either a movie I've seen so many times I could quote it myself like "You've Got Mail" "Pretty Woman" those are my favorites. This time of year it's either NASCAR or golf.

Is your computer in your sewing room? Find a radio station anywhere in the world, and let the music in.....I get better reception on the PC than on my radio (and a better selection).

The best day is to be in my quilting room with the "Easy Listening" music low and sewing.

Yep, stereo with whatever my mood is that day.

I love Indian flute music, western and classical music when I am creating on any of my projects.

If I don't have tv on for the background noise I will have my POLKA music (waltz, two-step etc.) Sometimes I will have both going. In the sewing room itself there are two websites that have my music 24/7 :)

I have my Ipod in my craft room.. I have a TV in there but find it to be distracting. Music is nice

TV only need the noise

Yes, anything from The Beatles to George Jones, ZZ top to Luciano Pavarotti, and everything in between. Music makes the world a better place.

I have only satellite Serius radio. We live pretty far from town. It's classical for me. Keeps me calm.

I love to listen to classical, popular classics, easy listening, etc, etc. and I also like to have the TV on with a good movie or program.

me..mostly books on tape though

I've "watched" more old movies that I've never seen... love the background noise... okay..sometimes I'll turn around and catch a scene, but the story is the real thing!

Once I actually saw a movie and realized I had "seen" it in my mind while sewing... it was just as good....did that make sense???

Makes a lot of sense, I "watch" t.v. like that. No clue what these people look like, but know which voice goes with each character.

Il Divo is to die for. Listen to them all the time. ♥

I like to listen to country and classic rock n' roll.

Has anyone tried the Great Courses on CD? I figured I could improve my mind (what little there is left) as I stitch. Haven't ordered any yet. Just checking to see if they are worth it. ♥

Classic Rock

Glad to hear from another Daniel O'Donnell fan who quilts! He is soooo good and Mary Duff is a treat to listen to also. Where are you from in Minnesota?

I like it to be very silent. The only time I listen to music is when my neighbour on the right plays his Patsy Cline and Rosemary Clooney type records (which are easy to take), in order to drown out the annoying sound of the horse races and football that my neighbour on the left likes to listen to.(I generally wear ear-muffs when the stereo sound gets too much)...

Chillers and Thrillers dectective stories on CD books from the library!
They read/talk, I listen and sew quilts.
Although,
at the momenr I am listening to Bob Dillion's CHRONICALS. Did any of you know he had five kids?

I do,usually Golen Oldies.

You mean Bob Dylan the singer?

10 pages and so far no one else who listens to progressive or hard rock, lol.

I prefer books on tape (CD) from the library but I also listen to music (as noted above) or listen to TV. I don;t have the cable run to my sewing room so I can only watch TV on the local channels.

Me 2. Both.

Yes, I have a bunch of them...The CDs work best, I think.
They are wonderful. Just finished "Bizantium" It is the Christian history of Asia Minor (think Turkey) , the Middle East, and eastern Europe for 1200 years after Christ was alive.
Curiously my favorite, so far, is "Chaos" which is about things that are not geometrical. Although it is a DVD it is good listening, from the next room.
The good thing is that if you are interested in a topic, they will eventually get it for you!
Just ask...I wanted American History from discovery to 1776, and they got it!
The history of Languages is one,
The history of English is another,
I have the Metropolitan Museum in NY and the Louvre in Paris, both lots of pictures from their collections.
Space explorations, medical stuff, about music,
American and other pieces of world history, arts and philosophy are just some of their lecture series.
Some of them are 24 lectures, others more, others less.

My 1st preference is books on CD from the library which I load onto my iPod and then TV. My radio doesn't want to get good reception in my sewing room....I also have the laptop in there when necessary.

I love to listen to sirius "50's" I used to sing along until my husband ran into my sewing room thinking I was hurt lol.

Yes ! It is his biography on a CD from the library.
It is fascinating!
(Sorry I spelled it wrong)
It is sooo different than you think.
He took off years away from the public and lived on the income from his music.
Together with his wife, he loved his kids, and was a full time parent...aparently, they spoiled the kids when they were little. Those years, he tried to avoid any public life and was very unhappy about the myths that grew up around his image, which of course made it worse.
I haven't finished it yet....

Thanks so much for your answer. I will go ahead and order some. ♥

Yes I do. Christian music. It is also a great way to pray while I sew.

Yes. Bluegrass. Definitely Bluegrass (not Country).

[quote=rushdoggie]10 pages and so far no one else who listens to progressive or hard rock, lol.



I do listen to some hard rock just didn't list it. Dh is diehard country & I'm a rocker but I do like a few country folks.

Southern Gospel, Bluegrass and Classical. Love them all.

I generally have the TV on for background noise.

not so much....i am usually really concentrating on my sewing so i dont think about turning it on...sometimes i do listen to sirius all elvis radio......gina

I have my CD player going on all the while I am sewing.. So relaxing..All my favorites.

I love listening to my Audio book with the plugs in my ears i am now listening to Bizantium and previously the girl with the tattoo, World without end great listening (multi skill) :)
