Boating Music

The entire Victory at Sea Videos are available on U Tube (26 episodes)--many hours of watching--and it is what we saw back in the 50's on our TV's--about the same resolution! Well worth while if you are interested in the History of WWII. My grandchildren should watch this!

I am a few years older than Joe--but we didn't have a TV set at home--so I had to see some of these as re-runs, when I was in college (one TV in the Frat living room). There was a condensation of the series released as a movie.
 
Thanks for the info on Victory at Sea. I do believe that I have seen some of those, maybe as reruns too. We didn't have a TV at home when I was that young, but later on. Had friends that did. Watched Sea Hunt and Whirlybirds and the Silent Service there.

Thanks for the info on the play devices.

Once again, Grateful Dead offers 30 Grateful Dead MP3 Songs for free during its 30 Days of Dead. (You can only download one track per day in November.) That's tied with our mention from last year and the best deal we could find for these tracks. Deal ends November 30.

Like victory at sea, Spotify will allow you to down load a wide range of music to your smart phone. I then play it on portable small Bose speaker great sound.
 
I got this from Ray Charles, there are only two kinds of music, "Good and Bad". Pandora is an excellent format if you will experiment with it. The Pandora pgm was written in this fashion, every song that is loaded into the system has a list of attributes, vocals, no vovals, strong gutiar, no gutiar etc. The more obscure the artist the better I think, I dont care to much for main stream music, how ever if you do, its there for sure.
Dr. Bob is totally right again on systems, the Jaw Bone is excellent, it runs on its own internal battrie which has a long run, you can place it any where, the "Hot Spot" is definatly at the further most point in the V berth. The Bass responce really comes to life due to the physics of the cabin below.
Now this part will spin out all of my Sea Brat friends. I use ear buds while I'm underway, meaning on plane, out in the open. They are called Etymotic, it is a hearing aid company.
I found these ear buds for my motor cycle because they reject external noise, putting them on is like putting hearing protection for a gun range. I've been using these for about 6 yrs now. The first pair cost $150, after 2 yrs of contionus use I broke them, I sent them back to the factory in the US and they repaired and retrurned them in one week. I asked about their $300 model and said I'd like to try them but I cant spend $300 with out trying them. They said no problem we'll give you 30 days. Well I jumped on that, they are professional studio monitors. I was a career recording engineer so just thought I'd let you know this is my topic.
If you feel this is not safe thats fine , I'm sure we would not agree on a number of things of this nature. I'm a rebel with a cause and I'm enjoying myself.
Oh and just for the Hell of it, some of the cuts from the 1982 German film "Das Boot" kick ass on a choppy day.
 
Hahaha- We are very superstitious about what we listen to while fishing. We keep track of what song was on when a fish hits. We have a collection saved now of our greatest hits. When fishing is slow we put it on. Seems to work most of the time. We joke that people always ask how deep we were fishing or what gear or what speed, time, tide... but never the most important question... What song were you listening too?!
 
OK, our "sundowner" music is almost always "Guitarra" by Javier Van Velthoven. But another album we listen to a lot is "Chesapeake Scenes" by fellow C-Brat, or former fellow C-Brat, Tom McHugh, "Banjo Man." We love these tunes about the Chesapeake by a man whose love for the Bay inheres in every song!
