Songs for the Workshop

[larry phelan 1Participant @larryphelan1]

S-O-D,

You do have a certain knack,which I admire !

Peter Shaw,

Welcome to the club,I also have defective hearing,but I prefer to think of it as selective hearing,since I can filter out most of the crap I dont want to hear anyway. Dont knock it,it has its advantages !

As regards music in the workshop No way !,the only sound I want to hear is that from the machine I,m using.

[LimpetParticipant @limpet]

And for the time it takes to do anything

Five Years -David Bowie

[I.M. OUTAHEREParticipant @i-m-outahere]

Not sure if these were ever commercially available – maybe as country and western ? but two songs from Clint Eastwood movies :

You turn me every which way but loose and you turn me any which way you can .

If you are into making your own boilers – Pressure down by John Farnham .

One for those surface grinder junkies out there – Chained to the wheel by the black sorrows .

One for those who are always being asked to do foreign orders or love jobs – DIrty deeds done dirt cheap – AC/DC

Finally one for the Blacksmiths and Welders – Hot stuff by Donna Summers .

Some days i feel that playing the song Ship of Fools by World party would be more appropriate in my workshop 😫

When i was younger sometimes some mates would come around and once i had grown tired of thier shenanigans and wanted them to leave i would dig out my mothers Burl Ives record and play pearly shells at full volume ! I can confirm that it had a 100% success rate !

"Lathey in red" by Chris De burr ?

[Ian WelfordParticipant @ianwelford58739]

“the song remains the same “ Shed Zepellin or that’s what it feels like anyway.

for a bit of relaxation “minstrel in the gallery” Jethro tull, Lindisfarne live accompanied by suitable lubrication for the singer. Chris de burgh always helps and R.E.M. automatic for the people in quieter moments.

Anything by Mike Oldfield helps when on a complicated bit.
