I would really be interested in watching any of the masters of bullet casting. To see what i am missing, to increase the quality on my bullets.

I think most people would leave about 30 seconds into the first song I put on as the furnace was coming up to temperature.

Typically trance or house techno of some sort. Armen Van Buuren and Deadmau5 are examples of the better DJ mix stuff I like. Armen tends to push his audiences hard with a beat up to 135, sometimes 140 and you have to watch out because he'll jack it up little by little over 20 minutes and then cut back before people start having heart attacks. Good for casting .22s and 6.5s s that need run fast.

Off the top of my head the CDs in my Tahoe right now are "Rio Grande Mud", "Divinities" by Ian Anderson, Pentatonix volume 1-3, Lindsey Stirling "Shatter Me", the complete Madonna box set, Willie box set, Dire Straits, Counting Crows, several P!nk albums, Taylor Swift's latest one, Steely Dan's "Aja" and "Gaucho", Evanescence, Van Halen's "Balance", a whole stack of Rush CDs, Elton John's greatest, Steppenwolf, John Lee Hooker's "Chill Out", SRV's "Texas Flood", Loreena McKinnet's "The Visit", Blue Oyster Cult, Daft Punk, "Hotel California", BB King, Glenn Miller (mostly Baroque, I forget the title) Heart, Canadian Brass, Pat Benatar's "Best shots", and the Air Force Band covering all the Sousa marches. Maybe a couple others like Enya or Indigo Girls. You won't find a Beatles or Elvis recording in my house or vehicles, and I'm not too fond of rap or hip-hop except for Coolio's "Gangster's Paradise", IceT, Run-DMC, M&M, or maybe some old Easy-E. You asked :)

OK, Dire Straits is on my car's mem stick, Eagle's Greatest hits, so it gets Hotel California, and I do like
"Best Shots" but don't have it, Not a lot of overlap and I have exactly zero clue who/what a bunch of that
it. :oops:

But a few overlaps. I like Dire Straights "Sultans of Swing" a lot, and "The Wild West Side" is good, as is
"Down on the Waterline". Some of the rest of that album....OK.

On that mem stick, Chuck Berry (Johnny B. Goode, and Maybelline, and The Downbound Train are favs)
Eagles Greatests, A couple of Beach Boys albums (love Shutdown, 409, Little Deuce Coupe and more)
Patsy Cline (I fall to pieces, Crazy, and more) a collection of VN war pilot songs "Fast and Low", mostly
new words to the songs from Marty Robbins' Gunfighter Ballads (Big Iron on His Hip and Strawberry Roan
are favorites) on the 'Fast and Low', the Ballad of Bernie Fisher is a good one - true story of a Skyraider
driver who got the MoH one fine day. Toby Hughes put out the album. Here is a sample, some are
actually pretty good.


Another favorite from that album of VN war songs is "Cobra Seven" a lightly fictionalized, but basically true
story of a FAC in a Bird Dog (Cessna 170 with a few marker rockets) earning his MoH.


And the other one, as brother and son of Phantom drivers - "Sher Babes" about a Phantom hit on a bomb
run and falling apart but getting the pilot back home on literally a wing and a prayer, is my real favorite
song. Hughes actually flew a Phantom II named Sher Babes for his wife and he doesn't do the song a lot
I think it might be a bit too accurate, maybe, for him to do much.

Suzy Boggus has a couple albums, and a few more.

Way different tastes in music, mostly. :) But that is sure OK.

Ian,
Glad to find someone with the same taste in music.
95% of what you listed are on my favorites list.
I too, never was fond of the Beatles or Stones, for that matter.
SRV "Texas Flood" and Kenny Wayne Sheppards "Blue on Black" are two of my favorite songs.
We really lost a great one when SRV went down. Saw him live, once. I had never seen anyone bend strings like that before!

Also a fan of SRV!
If @Ian cast .22s while listening to trance music, I wonder what he casts while listening to «Texas flood»?
Weeel, its floodin’down in Texas....... must be some crazy bigbore bullets, Is my guess :)

Music while casting? Hmm. If I had a radio or something in the garage and product is improved I might try.

Wow, Erasure and Psychedelic Furs? Nice. I have most of what's on your list but a lot of it is on cassette. How I miss the 80s and early 90s before the garage-band era and re-emergence of grunge.

FINALLY someone mentioned The Band. One of the best IMO. Anyone else binge-listen to JJ Cale? Two fingers of Scotch in a rocks glass or a pint of Paisano wine and both sides of "Troubadour" or "Naturally" is my version of a "spa evening".

I once had a tape that started with Benny Gooman and 87 minutes later wrapped up Foreigner .
When the mood strikes I might be listening to swing , doo wop , Margaritaville , some of the early 80's pop , hair bands selectively , on into 80's punk . Billy Joel ,. Billy Idol , Bill Haley , Belafonte ,. Blondie ,.Will Smith sometimes ,. Select classical . I'm really very fickle with music . I'll even listen to some newer stuff .

I'm not real big on CW but Hank Jr, Waylon, the 'Possum (minus Tammy), Johnny Cash, Glenn Campbell, and a few others do have some really good tunes and I especially like Waylon's songwriting. Clint Black and Vince Gill pretty much never recorded a bad song either, though I'm not sure where to define either of them. Pop? Blues? Easy Listening? All good music for the garage or shop.
