This has to be the most useless thread I've ever started. My apologies in advance. I just thought it would be cool to know what music people are listening to as they are doing whatever it is that they are doing now.

Myself, I am working late at the office (I am an editor) and I have the headphones on, and Hedningarna's Karelia Visa blasting away at full volume. I am just tripping out to this stuff! Gawd, I luv it!

Sad to say I'm listening to the radio of a woman I share an office with. It plays something called "smooth jazz" most of which I consider to be barely above muzak. Anyone else who posts to this one will have something better to offer.

I'm listening to an Anita O'Day CD - "Anita Sings The Most." The Oscar Peterson Quartet backs her up and almost steals the show on a few numbers. For any jazz listener's out there, if you go for jazz vocals, O'Day has a real knack for taking standards and making them her own. Worth a listen or two or fifty. Also listened to Charlie Parker: The Savoy Sessions, master takes, Vol. One. Pure genius! So, when I'm not practicing Irish and Scottish tunes on fiddle...

But seriously before I cry if I'm working late I listen to mainly clasical music because I can't listen to classical music on the bus ( engine too loud - either can't hear the soft bits or deafend by the lous bits).

I can hear my youngest playing in the tub, a music which faded much too fast with my eldest. Every sound a child makes should be considered music, so that we don't make them think it's noise, and so that we enjoy their sounds, and so they enjoy making music for others. So far, every age of my kids has been music. I hope they remember it so.

Peace, Mooh.

It's 8.45am, and I haven't long been up. It's Saturday so I am listening to "Sounds of the 60s" on BBC Radio 2. If I was settling to do some doughcraft work, I'd either keep the radio on, or play Brass Monkey's "Sound and Rumour" album or Sting's latest. It's not that I am a particular fan of his. I just like the album. ("I'm Into Something Good" by Herman's Hermits has just come on the radio.)

I stuck the Oscar Peterson link into this old thread because it came up when I did a Forum search on his name. Someone a couple of years ago must have been listening to him and mentioned it here. Peterson might merit his own thread, but I don't know enough about him to do anything more than to say I heard this interesting NPR article.

Just a clarification. (And what have I been listening to? Why, the Mudcat Blue Plate Special, of course!)
