Play it monthly for best results ...

Normally, it's something from the 60s, 70s, or 80s. Mostly Boston, Fleetwood Mac or anything from the Eagles...

Definitely like my rock...    but, there is room for a little country...

 Sorry guys, when I listen to music, especially in the garage I must get a sense of equanimity.

I know this is going to sound strange… but I like music I don’t understand the words to…  maybe because of language difference or just the quickness of the lyrics…

Not strange at all!  I will sometimes listen to '60s Brazilian Bossa Nova or French pop in the garage, in addition to a billion other genres.

Not necessarily because of language differences, but I hardly listen to lyrics to begin with. I barely know songs by name. I have been listening to Led Zeppelin since I was 8 yrs old and I bet I cant name more than about 5 of their songs! Probably the one band I know most of the lyrics and names of songs is the Beatles, followed by the Grateful Dead.

Here's how I do it from my android phone.

 

A youtube usually has a "share" button somewhere. Click that and it gives you options. I use "copy link". Then when you come here in "reply to thread" click and hold for a second and you should get a "paste" option. Click that and it should allow you to post yer clip.

 

John, if this dinosaur can make it work, I think anyone can!🦖

GOT IT Thanks!

My son just walked me through it as well! So I cheated but thanks Glenn, I am down your way this weekend in Charlottesville

I can't swear to it but I think the Stones have played the JPJ Arena in C-ville. Last time I saw them was in 90s at Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh.

They played Hershey Park in 2005, I saw them several times and they always put on a great show. They prided themselves in that this performance will sell the tickets to next years performance, what you do off stage is one thing,  on stage is another.  I never heard anyone ever saying that they saw a bad Stones performance.

Try this one then. Joan Chamorro, a Bass player, Sax player, has a school in Barcelona Spain and teaches talented kids to play American standards out of the 30's 40's and Samba and Bossa Nova out of the 50's, 60's and 70's.

This song was written by Antonio Carlos Jobim called So Danco Samba and is played by Rita Pays (14) vocals, and trombone, also the young Andrea Motis on trumpet.

Always good to have a mix of music playing. Staying alive is a throw back classic.

Trying to see if I can do this on my own now, some great car footage from Bullet in here as well. Well worth the watch.

Always want a mix of music. Keeps things interesting. One of the greatest metal bands ever. 

 

[Xander Wildeisen]

At one of my first jobs as a teenager. I was a line cook at a restaurant called Cafe O’le. In downtown Boise. All of the cooks were metal heads. And we would have tapes playing on the tape player while we worked. And it was all heavy metal music. Like the band posted above. This constant playing of heavy metal music messed with the concentration of the waitresses, and waiters. Having to hear that music, and keep track of orders was difficult. They would get used to it after awhile. So in between all of the metal songs. We would throw in some ABBA, that would confuse people. Going from Slayer, to take a chance on me.😂

The last ship I worked on had a news stand  / gift shop. Mostly staffed by middle age and older women. They played Abba almost non stop on the local PA . I finally had to tell them I would not correct any of their defects, loose shelves, stuck latches  show case burnt out light bulbs in display cases etc. with that sort of sound going on in the background. Drove me right around the bend after 5 minutes or less . Please ladies, play some Soundgarden or Chains or something !

I guess this can be a sailing or at least traveling song. Want to travel south this year...

Another good garage song. Still waiting Idaho.

Love everything about Joan and have followed his activities for years. Alba is his latest rising star. I am listening to his groups weekly. Love me some Scott Hamilton playing sax with the “kids”.

Yeah, Scott Hamilton here on another Jobim song.

And of course, the original from 1963 by the master himself on piano. Pure Bossa Nova.

Most people have heard this around the world.

 

[Xander Wildeisen]

Music is great, fun glimpse into peoples lives seeing the types of music they listen to. 

 

[Pfeil]

 I remember just like it was yesterday. I was sitting in the barber's chair getting a haircut in 1963-4 when I heard a Jobim song for the first time. I turned around to ask Ski my barber who in the world is that??? Record companies cut this song down as songs could only be around two minutes long those days. The song was done for Joao Gilberto but in the middle of the song his wife Astrud was asked to sing. The record company cut Joaos part out and left Astrud's and Stan Getz portion, it was a big hit. Here is the original long version.

  

 

[rocketraider]

^^^ Says it all!

 

I count myself lucky to have inherited my Uncle Gene's album collection. It included a lot of bossa nova and easy listening, including several first-generation RCA "Living Stereo" pressings. I learned to appreciate Esquivel! thru him. "Space Age Bachelor Pad Music" is in many ways still contemporary as well as ahead of its time.

 

I wanted his 1958 RCA-Victor "New Stereo Orthophonic High-Fidelity" phonograph too, but my cousin (executor of his estate) gave it to a thrift store. It was identical to this one.

 

 

How could she have done that?!😫

[John Bloom]

Rocketraider, I feel your pain. I listen to a lot of jazz.  In my garage when I’m into a jazz mood I’ll stream it off my phone to a blue tooth speaker in this 1931 Philco. 

of course I understand how ridiculous and illogical that is, but it makes me really happy to hear a big band tune, or a slow jazz ballad or torch song coming out of that cabinet.

[Pfeil]

Another kind of music I like to listen to including in the garage is surf music. The kind of surf music I'm referring to is before all that pretend Beach boy stuff which was hated by all the guys and gals that were surfing before and when I grew up. My dad started in 1927, my mom in 1934 my sister in about 1942 and me, being the midnight mishap in 1954-5 somewhere. When I would accompany my parents to Luaus, barbeques the surf music (and this kind of thing went on into the 60's) consisted of a lot of music from the "Exotica" movement, then it progressed into jazz stuff like Dave Brubeck (like take five), Henry Mancini (the whole Peter Gunn soundtracks) etc.

 

So here is a favorite song and band leader out of the "Exotica" era and it's remastered (around 1964) from an around 1954 album. You will notice the whole tropical far away theme. The one after it is one of the newer cool jazz songs from Mancini. Bruce Brown (maker of Endless Summer) used this song on the original version of the movie Surfing Hollow Days on the opening shots of surfing Rincon a place us surfers used to call "The Queen of the Coast" for its perfect waves.

 

"Exotica!"

Joe B. is a car guy as well as a local.  I think he likes, has an old Caddy or two.  Friends on another forum, admittidedly I had no idea of his level of fame until I saw him on a local billboard playing one of the casinos here in CT.

Psychedelic-era Beatles is always good. Who knew Max followed Jojo west?

Those of us coming of age in the 60’s witnessed the birth or expansion of so many kinds of music- one of which was the anti-war/protest songs. So many of the creators have been forgotten by the younger generation. A small scattering of names include Dylan, Baez, Phil Ochs, Judy Collins, Richie Havens, Pete Seeger, Woody and Arlo Guthrie, Peter, Paul and Mary, and etc.

 

My own favorite version is a young Joan Baez singing “With God on our Side” written by Dylan when they were together, I like the soft touch of her version better than the Newport Jazz Festival duet recording of 1963.
