I'm in design phase now for a pretty much classical piece on the order
of a Townsend double chest.

As I'm sketching and scratching it is a great help to me to have Bach
the elder playing the Concerto #3 in G major: allegro in the
background.

It is exactly the right piece of music for this exercise and I am
playing it on a loop.

Most tunes would get boring used in this way - but not this piece by
brother Bach.

I wonder how many other guys put music to the task like this.

Beethoven's Eroica!!!

While we have different tastes, I do have a few CD's that do the same thing
for me. I am designing a corner cabinet/curio/jewelry box/tackle box/tool
chest/car wash for the b&c that she saw at the antique store. (If she
changes one more thing it wouldn't be as painful to part with the $800 they
wanted) I find that a little Pantera gets me going in the right direction
and I can concentrate on measurements, design, and appeal.

When working on a Townsend double chest, it is mandatory to listen to
The Who.

Okay, that was bad....


I listen to everything. I live by Glen Miller's credo: "If it sounds
good, it probably is."
But I do notice a difference in selection when I'm drawing vs
dimensioning boards on the planer. Grieg, Paganinni, Mozart, nothing
like a good fix of baroque to stimulate the creative juices.
But, in the shop, XM 40 (Deep Tracks) is almost always on. They play
the most eclectic old rock: Joe Walsh, Kinks, Who, Zep, Buffalo
Springfield, Neil, 10cc (10cc RULES!!) a lot of 'singable' stuff....

But.. I'll give BARRY's XM 80 a try today... I'll get back to you on
that...*G*

Tom,
I also enjoy classical music in the shop. I'm not sure a lengthy list
is in order here but I find Mozart's concertos for clarinet, oboe and
bassoon very satisfying. By the way, the clarinet concerto was used
in the film " Out of Africa". They allow repetition without getting
stale.

As a life-long music fanatic, I find trance to completely draw me into a
focus when I'm in the right mood. Other times, it totally destroys my
concentration.

DO NOT listen to XM 80 while driving on wide open roads! DAMHIKT. G

After thinking about why I don't like classical in the shop, I realized
that I don't passively listen to it. Listening to classical music
becomes a activity in itself, I can actually get tired doing it.

It's interesting that you mention "Take Five." I was thinking about
how much I love it, but the difference is that it is not an
improvisational piece. There's a very appealing melody going.

I'm not familiar with Four Play. I'll check them out.

Pink Floyd does it for me!

You have a recording of Bach playing his own concerto? Wow!
Recording technology must be a lot older than anyone ever thought.

When I'm in the mood I have several CDs I've burned with compilations
of 50s & 60s R&R. (Starting in 1956 and nothing older than 1968.)
Sanding in time to "Summertime Blues" or "Devil With The Blue Dress
On" gives me a better surface.

If things are dragging try "Firebird" (Strvinsky). If you want to
slow things down try Albioni's "Adagio" or Pachebel's "Canon" and if
you want real inspiration try most anything by Bach. Also,
traditional Bluegrass works for cleaning the shop or hand sanding. For
me, anyway.

Try "Kind of Blue" by Miles Davis and crew. And take a look at the
crew: Paul Chambers, James Cobb, Coltrane, Bill Evans, Wynton Kelly. It
doesn't get better. The Brubeck album runs a very close second.

Da Missus and I just went to our second symphony recital in a month.
Looks like it will be a semi-regular for us. BTW, in a battle of the
bands bg the Great Lakes Symphony Orchestra would beat the Dearborn
Symphony Orchestra hands down. ;-)

Probably share a lot of members, but the final sound was better, more
'finished'.

Perhaps in a similar vein, I was exposed one April morning to The

It was as eery as it was fantastic. I was spell-bound.
