I listen to John denver and @ present is Zeus & RoxAnne

Katiequiltsalot 07-03-2011 05:39 AM

I love to listen to audio books as well. I can be sewing along and get tickled at something I'm listening to, and DH will stick his head in to see if I've lost my mind !! LOL

natalieg 07-03-2011 05:42 AM

Mostly Pink Floyd, a little hard rock from the 80's and country, and even enya. I hae a very diversified taste in music and anything goes while quilting. I also listen to a lot of talk radio. My Bose actually sits on my upstairs sewing desk.

No radio. Just throw open the doors and windows and love to hear the sounds of the world....many different cheery little bird calls, an occasional dog barking, trucks on their way to deliver supplies somewhere, cars and boats traveling up the road to the lake......even love the sound of the fan humming and the sewing machine purring.

And of course, all would be liberally sprinkled with Billy Joel, Elton John and Bruce!

Always Bruce!!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

I have a very eclectic mix on my computer: Christian, folk, Broadway, etc...so I bounce around alot. Mostly when I am sewing I either have the TV or a movie on.

BrendaK 07-03-2011 05:52 AM

Hi, Happy Fourth of July to you all.
I don't listen to anything. Does listening to music help you sew better? If it does maybe I'll try it. I need to focus all my atttention on what I am doing. BrendaK

charlaraye 07-03-2011 06:01 AM

Usually anything from 50's to 80's, but also mix with easy listening, classical, and some country. It really depends on the mood I am in and what I want to get accomplished.

Learner747 07-03-2011 06:06 AM

My husband has a collection of old country music stars and their music. I enjoy these from time to time.

Mommo 07-03-2011 06:20 AM

King George Strait!!
Also like oldies

jpmaroni 07-03-2011 06:21 AM

Never think to turn anything on. Always caught up with project, and I love peace and quiet.

Amythyst02 07-03-2011 06:23 AM

From country to Elvis, to Yanni just depends on my mood. Sometimes just the noise from outside will do. I enjoy hearing the birds chatter.

Glassquilt 07-03-2011 06:29 AM

Classical music on radio or computer.
Educational on TV but if I'm learning something new I might get caught up in the show.

WHAT a good choice, especially Moodies !!! Love them. As I am in the UK you may not have heard of all of my choices, but Cliff Richard is my favourite, ALWAYS has been, also love Take That, Michael Buble, The Overtones and Taylor Swift.

aronel 07-03-2011 07:08 AM

Country music, new, old, radio, cds anything by Alabama, Statler Brothers, Oak Ridge Boys, Garth, George Strait, and Dottie West to name a few.

amyjo 07-03-2011 07:09 AM

dh always had 660 KEYZ on so it is old time country music with some newer on it once in a while. It is just background because I'm not paying attention.

Alex J 07-03-2011 07:11 AM

I go to the library and check out audio books and thats what I listen to in my sewing room and in my car when I go to work, I can listen to two books a week on a good week it might be three.

Lynneander 07-03-2011 07:18 AM

Bon Jovi ... over and over!

dottientx 07-03-2011 07:26 AM

Love Smooth Jazz with Herbie Mann as my top favorite. Anything country, western or bluegrass has me climbing the walls with their twangy-ness. They make for a short sewing session where I can listen to Jazz all day long and feel GOOOOd!

BettyGee 07-03-2011 07:29 AM

My iPod is the best gift I ever received for quilting. I like Zac Brown, his "Sic 'em On A Chicken" keeps my toes tapping. Also the oldies from Chicago, Moody Blues, Fleetwood Mac mixed with some Sarah MacLaughlan.

lzp 07-03-2011 07:32 AM

Opera- sometimes I'll put in a dvd and glance at the video to watch key scenes. Primarily Puccini and Verdi but some days I am in the mood for Carmen (Bizet). Glad to see someone else in the forum listens to opera!

I am mainly a hard rock/heavy metal fan - my current favorite album is by Blue Oyster Cult. However, I have also been a fan of Cliff Richard since I was a young girl and used to love his TV show.

I usually listen to a local online radio station. Every 15 minutes you click on the page and it gives you points. You can trade in your points to win prizes. I haven't won anything yet, but... you never know.

It's also a go way to make you get up every now an again so you don't get stiff. (Having some back issues lately and that's because I didn't get up.)

anvet12 07-03-2011 08:18 AM

I listen to classic country on Internet radio mostly.

maryb44662 07-03-2011 08:22 AM

While hand quilting, if there is nothing good on tv, I will listen to 50's music from my LPs. I have a stereo with a turn table in the quilting room as well as a tv. I have lots of oldies-but-goodies LPs. When sewing I will watch tv, cooking shows or something. Happy 4th...Mary

Jo Mama 07-03-2011 08:23 AM

I watch HGTV

mollybluebonnet 07-03-2011 08:35 AM

I love classical music and the golden oldies. Fortunately Norman, OK has a classical music radio station and oldies station nearby. I've just started to listen to audio books and look forward to doing more of that.

Dianne1 07-03-2011 08:39 AM

karate lady 07-03-2011 08:44 AM

butterflies5518 07-03-2011 08:53 AM

scrappylouisa 07-03-2011 09:04 AM

I listen to Oldies but Goodies from the 50's, 60's and early 70's or Native American Flute. Either one is soothing to my soul.

I watch/listen to HGTV or a good movie, or 60s rock & roll, or classical - whatever suits my mood!

sassey 07-03-2011 09:29 AM

I ;isten to christian radio a lot sometimes I have on country or light rock depending on my mood

mnmgirl 07-03-2011 09:41 AM

I listen to Contemporary Christian, or 70's or just classic rock. Anything to get me sewing longer. If the house is quiet, I can't work......

I live in Texas,- with that in mind - I listen to BBC 4 live
( England ) over my computer or local Texas PBS RADIO.
There is a mix of classical and modern music on them, but prefer the interesting variety of talk subjects.

QuiltingJaguar 07-03-2011 09:41 AM

The music of the Casey Anthony trial!! Can't get away from it glad its coming to an end. Meanwhile my favorite is country music.

g-maquilts 07-03-2011 09:45 AM

I listen to anything from country to oldies to classical.
Sometimes just enjoy the quiet too.
