Music, music, music..... Now there is a subject!
I was waiting for the thread to start after reading the earlier question from Peter....
Thanks Ralph - maybe not on this thread, but I have oft time wondered what music model engineers listen to when in the shop?

Erm well.... There are many more.... I think it'd bore the hell out of many people so I'll not list anymore of them?!
Got to add I don't much care for most forms of rap and hip hop....And I hate the way they have re-branded/stolen the term for R&B!

Just the way it is I suppose, you can't like everything!
Much of the stuff I listen to is mainstream, you hear it somewhere and like it etc, but there are a few who I have heard live and just couldn't believe my ears!
I love live music played well, be it covers in a pub or original stuff at a concert type venue... Live music played well is fantastic
After all that, what is the stuff I listen to in the shop?
All of the Above when my Ipod is on random... But if I'm "in the zone" it tends to be instrumental stuff.... Ed Allenyne-johnson, Rob Costlow, Mike Oldfield, Andy martin, Vangelis and the likes.
This thread I like.... It gives you not only an insight into what others like but the oportunity to search out some of that music and see what it is like yourself
Chris, The video you posted was quite enjoyable, Victor Wooten is a name I have heard before and watched/listened to many of the videos on the net involving him.... Very good bass player he is too!
Never seen Bela Fleck before... I'll investigate further!
Mark,
Randy Newman

Short people is played quite often to some friends of mine
Peter,
I hope your dress sense has improved?
Jump around.... Do you like it because of the Bob & Earl beginning or just because it makes you want to jump around?
Eric.... Your right, your into some odd stuff.... Depeche Mode!!!
New order are ok, the rest I've never noticed! I'll have some homework out of that lot!!!
Tired now.... Too much typing!!
Ralph.
