Elec_VA,
Well, you ask a question, there, mate,
I like The Living End,Pearl Jam and
LifeHouse(thier bass player is the best).
Being a part-time muso, myself, I only really listen to music that uses "real" musicians, none of this sampling and Hip-Hop rubbish, just not my cup of tea, personally.

Virgil,

That bass rules! I have played bass off and on for the last 12 years! Love the fretless, though I tend to hit the wrong note (only by a little, leading to a very discordant sound) when I play one. Any Primus influence in there? (Said only for the axe. Six string fretless? Excellent!) Just saw your update about Hayseed! Glad to know that I’m not the only one who loves bastardized bluegrass!

Oh, and you have to add ECN to the links

Everyone:

Love the responses! Keep them coming!

I enjoy the Eagles; Rod Stewart; all of the 60's and 70's and also the early 50's oldies music!

PS: I also enjoy listening to The First "Four Temptations" Group, with Artie Ripp, Skip Scarpa, Brad Stuart, and Joe Tedesco.

They sang "Cathy" and "Rock and Roll Baby" on ABC Paramount.

Are there any record collectors out there who may have a copy??

Popular music from the 1940s thru 1960s, rock 'n' roll, ballads, a little jazz, country music. I guess I have quite wide-ranging tastes, but I can't stand the modern trash. More than once I've decided I need to cut all power for a few minutes when some other workman has insisted on playing some "Top 40" station at full blast!

pualuk,
I am with you, even though I like it loud I will be courteous of others, nothing is worse then trying to think with music that you hate blasting away. Some people are just plain rude.

The company I work for has a no radio policy and most of the GCs we work for do not allow radios on the job.

I enjoy Classic hard rock (Esp "Corporate rock"), the aformentioned
British/European metal, "hair" metal, early to mid 80s pop/new wave, (that was the MTV staple back then), an a bit of current pop/alternative/dance. I also like a bit of 30s jazz and 40s swing, and come Christmas, I crave seasonal recordings from the 50s to the 70s.

The channel loop I have set on my receiver. up are mostly CHR and alternative stations though. A somewhat regional station (that
the barn radio is often tuned to), has on Sunday nights, an 80s retro program I enjoy listening to when I am doing Sunday evening chores.

I enjoy all types of music but sway towards the classic rock side Yes Led Zeppelin Jethro tull etc. I went to see John Prine last night and the show was awesome.If he does a show in your area I would highly recomend going to see it

In case you don't know, Virgil(Sparky66WV) can play a variety of instruments, and very well. He's just a modest guy.
I'm gonna waste some space here.
When I quit my last job, I gave 1 month's notice...Told everyone I was Movin'to Montana. To raise a "high end fiber" used in "quality" dental floss. Those folks still believe it.
