music in the bowyers workshop
« on: May 22, 2015, 12:49:15 am »
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.

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 ::)

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.

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.
