Music for your shop.

In North Jersey, the local station, WMTR 1250 AM, plays all oldies. It started playing them several years ago with just fifties and sixties music, but a couple of years ago, they added seventies music. When they start playing a song from the seventies that I don't like, I just turn the radio off. Otherwise, the radio comes on when I "power up" the garage. I wish they played more "car" and "surf" music.
 
Something to be said when the oldies station is playing 70's-80's music. Pretty soon we may have to go to the Smithsonian to hear real oldies. Then again some of us still have 60's music "blowing through the canyons of our minds".
 
Play music thru my computer with a wireless speaker(Logitech) Martini in the morning.com for The Great American Songbook and HyLit . com for oldies!! Pete
 
I bought a GE spacesaver AM FM CD player at a garage sale for $5.00, new in the box. I mounted it under my cabinet in the garage. I listen to a lot of AC DC, Molly Hatchet, Motorhead and 80s heavy metal. A friend of mine, makes me a lot of CDs of greatest hits. Gotta have some tunes when I'm working on my Torino.
 
Pete - go to www.songza.com or download the app on your smart phone. Search for
surf guitar, surf, etc. Great music and it is free.
There is a 'Spaghetti Western Surf Guitar' on there as well. Thankfully we're not limited to terrestial radio. I Heart radio on the phone and I can listen to Giants games where ever I go.

Sorry but that was 72. One of my favorite songs..... :D

I just take my IPAD and set it up near where I am working. If I have internet I use the ITunes radio app on my Uncle Lucius station or stray cats station.
 
There are always 50's-60's tunes playing in The Hot Rod Grille Garage. Here is my wife and me playing the 1955 Wurlitzer Model 1800 jukebox. There is also a Wurlitzer Model 1015-OMT in the garage for variety. Hard to beat the sound of an old Wurlitzer (or two) belting out some rock-n-roll while you work on a project!
