Does anyone else have a song that just fits when you're in the workshop? This song became a favorite the first time it played. One of the best songs I had never heard of.

I'm sure a lot of you will enjoy it as well. It's about a tree after all.

I like to put Mark Baker's " Feathers Thru The Wind " cd in.
-
Nope, I like it quiet when I'm working.
But live music is a different kettle of fish... that would be cool... add in a campfire and a dozen other bowyers.
Damn I'm daydreaming about the Classic again ::)

Good song, I listen to 650am/old country most of the time. I am with Del,I like it live also and we get quite a lot of that at TwinOaks. ;) :)

Live music in the shop would be a treat and a luxury, but I DO listen to good music all the time while in my shop working.....good for the soul.

I don't have any music in my work area. Sometimes a guest will bring along a music box of some kind and it doesn't bother me too much. I like country music, and for some reason am starting to like heavy metal which I hated as a kid. In small doses of course.
-
I love music when I'm working. From Mozart to Vivaldi, Buena Vista Social Club, Merle Haggard, Doc Watson, K D Lang, Diana Kroll, Louis Armstrong, Huey Louis, George Gershwin, Casey Chambers, The Band, Traffic, Ten Years After, Miles Davis, Aaron Neville, Cosby, Stills, Nash, Young, apart and together and many, many others. I love jazz, classical, old country, bluegrass, almost anything.

Used to always have BBC Radio 2 on in the background, but now I just enjoy some peace-and-quiet - its my only chance to get any! Just me and the bees and the wasps (bees nesting at one end of the log-pile and a wasps nest in the roof - kinda makes me nervous but they all seem to ignore me, so as long as they do I'll leave them alone.

Good bow building song
-
I always have music blaring in my shop from the local hard rock station.
Yep, I am a 67 year old head banger and like heavy metal music. Don't care for the death metal stuff or any metal where the lead singer growls unintelligible words into the mike.
I had the soundtrack from Braveheart which I really loved. Every time I played it while making a bow something would go wrong and I would screw up the bow.,every time..........
Being an old cassette tape it was pretty old when my tape player ate so it could never be heard again and never cause me to mess up another bow.

Ah, we like the same...
I'll send you a CD with silence on it so you can play it while you're working :laugh:

I pretty much listen to Bob fm 105.1. They play some old country all the way up to country from the mid 90's. Country is pretty much all I listen to. I like a few older rock songs but I've never been good with names or song titles. If I had some bluegrass I would listen to it from time to time. As well as some Indian flute music. That was something that my grandmother loved so I listened to it quite a bit. But I can't stand a blaring radio or one that's so soft I can't hear what is playing. It's just loud enough for me to hear good in the background. I also like local small bands, one is called Big Smith they have some good toe tapping music. A buddy turned me on to a group called Pokey Lafarge, you all should check them out on you tube! Patrick
-
My music taste while working is as eclectic as my personality. Everything from Pantera to Jackson Browne to Jackie Wilson to SRV. Whatever mood I'm in that particular day. Pandora is my shop buddy. Lol

I did that once, cranked it as high as I could and broke off the knob! Next thing you know, my neighbor came over and started raising hell.
He's a mime.
So I shot him.
Used a silencer. 8)
-
Ten Years After. Jefferson Airplane. Cream. The Band. Steppenwolf. Neil Young. The Doobies. Midnight Oil. Fleetwood Mac. Now, guess my age :D
-
I usually have the radio on. Either the local rock station (100.5 KATT) or a country station. country stations get switched when I start hearing too much of the "Nashville r&b." lol.
-
Nice list dc, don't forget townes van zant, the flying burrito brothers, tom rush, the list goes on

If I'm feeling young I move into the eighties. Some of my all time favorites are from the eighties. Since the sixties didn't happen until the seventies in Canada I get kind of confused. Probably something I did in the seventies ;) ;) ;)
-
Wow! Heavy metal. Neil Young, Blackberry Smoke, Mountain , Dio.
Sounds like I'm in good company. Can't headbang any more but still love it.

Wow, you were a time tripper! It didn't come out until the summer of 1980! I wrecked three vinyl copies and two cassettes over the years. Now I have the Hayseed Dixie version of it from online.
-
ya.. i could be wrong on the year. 8) at this pint i don't know if that matters. I still..and continue to.. blast it out of me Jeep, dodge or what ever I'm in.
Have a .... on me!
-
35 years and it is still as fresh as ever.
-
I can't do anything in silence, so I have to listen to music while I make stuff.
Rumours by Fleetwood Mac is my most played album in the workshop, but generally anything. Opeth is a good band to carve wood to...
-
I like listening to music when I'm listening to music. Always thought it was odd when people could basically not function at anything else unless they had music powering them along.
-
Classic rock. I listen to all sorts of music. I have seen quite a few different artists in concert, from Charlie Daniels to Snoop Dogg. Classic rock relaxes me. All of my power I'm my shop is switched, so I flip the switch and the radio comes on.
-
I listen to the voices in my head........ >:D
-
Or The Symphony of the New World , Antonin Dvorak
-
I know a writer that cannot work without a metronome keeping time on her desk. She changes the tempo of the metronome as she changes the tension in what she is writing.
She says it also keeps telling her time is slipping away and she has deadlines to keep.
-
That line in Kipling's "If" always spurs me on.
"If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run, "
Do you like Kipling?
Can't say I've ever Kippled :laugh:
Do you like Dickens?
Can't say I've ever been to one :o

-
Home made blues band is good listening too
-
My second favorite thing to do besides make bows is play guitar and I usually have a playlist of songs I'm working on in the background as I work. SRV, 38 Special, ZZ Top, Molly Hatchet, Skynyrd, Kenny Wayne Shepard, and the like.... or maybe some fingerpicking old country blues if I'm in an acoustic mood. Yep, I like music while I work.
-
As Daddy said, "variety is the spice of life." Particularly true for me when it comes to music. Enjoy it all ... except much of today's Country. So anything from Classical to Hard Rock is gonna be heard in my garage.
-
Yea I love anything alice in chains, pantera, pearl jam,lynryd skynyrd while I'm working. I love music a lot more than the average person tho.
-

There's a few different types of music listeners I like to think. There's people who don't really like music, there's people who just listen to what comes on the radio or a wide range of random music but don't really get that deep into the music and then there's hardcore music fans who love music more than a normal person could ever like it. I'm one of those people who likes to have music that I like playing when I'm doing anything. I just love music more than I can describe.
-
Joe some people just can't multitask lol, takes all kinds to make a tribe don't it
-
I prefer instrumentals, generally Celtic or guitar. Older rock or reggae work too. Current country is hard to tolerate in the shop, but sometimes it's on too...

I used to work with a guy that said to him music was just white noise and meant nothing to him. He couldn't name a single artist or song title. Weird.

I understand what you mean Pat. I find it very odd to see people jogging by here in the country with headphones on, I would sort of understand if it was in the city. They don't seem to care to listen to the music of nature
Having music covering up any sounds that a bow may be trying to tell me as I'm working on it just doesn't seem to make sense to me. I do occasionally listen to music in my shop though, when I'm doing something that doesn't require me to use my ears for something else
-
I'm a musician as a career, so having music on when I'm doing anything from making bows to cooking is second nature to me.
Primarily, it's because I take in far more of a piece of music subconsciously than if I were to deliberately listen to it. I can put on a piece I'm trying to learn, or need to teach somebody and sit there for an hour and I won't be able to analyse it properly. If it's on in the background while I'm working on a bow etc, for some reason it just seems to log properly and I know the structure and details by the time I stop working.
-

Some people can't singletask. ;)
-
Pat i have no problem singletask oh look a squirrel :laugh:
-
Anyone that comes into my shop gets the warning... my Pandora is on so there is no telling where this trip 8 going. I'm a big fan of Bob Marley so there is a lot of that. Also have beethoven, snoop dogg, johhny cash, opera, mettalica, and everything in between. I sheer clear of death metal and almost anything made in the last two years. Lol
-

I 100% agree on that one. I run everyday and couldn't stand to listen to music whilst running. I like the sound of my breath, my heartbeat and most importantly natures music.

We frequently have people protesting the ban on wearing headphones during races here.
-
Every project has different music to get me into the mood. When I really have to get down and dirty maybe put on some punk rock, easy going is regae, simple is Dylan or Young.
If you walked into my shop 9 times out of 10 Tom Waits would be growling along though.
-
Old country(cant hardly take any produced after 1980), Blues old and new. My go to would have to be Split Lip Rayfield tho..when im travelling or need to get outside my head for abit I always pop in one of Will H's cd's....taken me thru some tough times, thanks Will..... Brian
-
My shop is where I can listen to what I want to listen to so it's a win/win for me. Usually bluegrass, some movie soundtrack CDs, couple of the late Allen Wayne Damron's CDs. It varies...
-
The mention of soundtracks made me remember one of my favorites. The "Into the Wild" soundtrack with Eiddie Vedder of Pearl Jam is spectacular. I never saw the movie though. I was turned off by the story even though it's true. A man who prides himself in wilderness survival shouldn't end up poisoned by a mushroom. If there is any doubt what so ever or even a unsafe look-a-like don't eat it. The have virtually no nutritional value anyway, so taking risks to avoid starvation isn't even a valid excuse. Never the less, awesome soundtrack. I'd say this one was my favorite track.

Personally, I'll listen to anything from 80's rock music, to Reckless Kelly; but it doesn't get any better than Don Williams.
http://youtu.be/d32h0TuSgEY
My mom used to play his CD every day to put my little brother to sleep, and I always come back to it. It's good music to play while working. Kinda laid back and quiet.
-
I dont find a lot of new music that gets me excited, but when I discovered Chad Slagle's album High, Wild, And Free with tracks like longbow country, The man in the Borsalino hat (a tribute to Fred Bear) and Wapiti's prayer....well I had found bow making music! I highly recommend Chad Slagle.
About a year ago, I went through a weird phase where I almost always had The Flaming Lips "Soft Bulletin" album on repeat whenever I made bows.
-
It's been rock and southen rock.
-
How about "Tea for the Tillerman". I'm pretty sure Tillerman has a different meaning in the song but what the hey. :D

Everybody connects to music differently. That's just one of the magic's of music.
-
People might get concerned when I'm listening to slipknot and hacking to the backbeat, then a minute later wonder if I found I don't want to set the world on fire via fallout or if I'm just that cool 8)
Nothing helps the machete like a lively beat, and nothing soothes the nerves like the ink spots.
-
Rock & Roll or whatever suits the mood, listen to FM band. Heart, Fleetwood Mac, 3-Doors down, Mathew Good, Evanescence, Red Hot Chilly Peppers, Creed, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Steve Earle (the moonshine song) , Jefferson Airplane, The Doors and the list goes on. It all depends on the mood. 8) Its all good.
-
If I ever found a singer who sing better than me I would play it instead of me having to sing all day.
-
That's kind of a neat feeling. Puttering away in the shop and you start singing or whistling. Must be what they mean by naturally stoned. it's actually much better than the artificial kind. ;D ;D

Yes I love eddie vedder. The song "society" really makes me think.
-

we sing a lot in my house. I don't know about any of you, but some of my fondest memories were sitting around the camp fire singing along to the acordian. We sang "Bill Grogans goat" at my grandpa's funeral. I never saw him listen to music, but he sure sang like a bird.
-
Got to be acoustic music for me when I'm in my shop and it doesn't get any better than Leo Kottke. But I also like the "Dances With Wolves" soundtrack. Props to Bubby for The Flying Burrito Bros. ;)

Ahh yes , Leo Kottke , Icewater was part of my soundtrack back in the 70's... ;)
-
I'd never heard of Leo Kottke so I googled him. Like what I heard. Boy's got talent. :D
-
I don't listen to anything. Jawge
-
What a fantastic song! Thank You!
-
That's a great song.I listened to several more of his and they were all good. Thanks for putting it up. I think I'll order that Cd. God Bless
-
Are we talking about Leo Kottke? If so, check out his "Six and Twelve String Guitar" CD and his live CD, "My Feet Are Smiling". The man is amazing. :)

Yep, and while he describes his singing as sounding like "goose f#rts on a muggy day..." I always thought he did pretty well when he covered Tom T. Hall's "Pamela Brown" on the Ice Water album.
-
I was looking up leo kottke stuff and this caught my eye. I've always been a bit of a phish head so this was really appealing to me. The first 20 minutes are superb. I'll assume it continues for the remainder.

Pretty cool, DK. I've heard that Leo is still touring and I'd go to see him if he came to my area. The only time I saw him live was in the late 70's.
"Goose farts" is hilarious. He's being way too hard on himself. I always liked his voice. It just fits the songs so well. I love his cover of "Rings" and the way he sings "Louise" and "Hear the Wind Howl". Glad that there is some live video of Leo on YouTube and I'm still amazed by the way he plays.
-
I can't stop listening to Seasick Steve. He's a very interesting guy who didn't get popular until his late 60's. He makes a lot of his own instruments and plays some good blues songs on them. Its great bow making music. He has a lot of live performance videos on youtube. I've got most of them on my phone now.
