Sugarhouse music

[RickinFarmington]

XM Sat radio with bluegrass and bluesville.

For me, it's usually an old tv during March madness. If I listen to the radio, it wouldn't be country. Probably alternative/hard rock, Christian or even classical, depending on who else may be around. But of course, classical doesn't work in the middle of the night!

i'm all about anything metal, hairband or 80's but I have to admit since deadliest catch started I ran cable to the sugarhouse, oh and not mention nascar. What can I say, we watch a lot of tube there.

I have to say, and it's the only time of year I can stand it, but I like to hear traditional folk fiddle music while sugarin. It just seems to bring the whole tradition aspect to the forefront and makes me wonder about sugarin in the 1800's and how good it must have been after the dead of winter.

I usually just play whatever, but it depends on the level of intoxication... mostly country cause we know the words. And sometimes I like to listen to NOAA weather radio just to piss everyone off who is keeping me company late into the morning... and of course to see if its going to freeze at night.

Guys we have got to start tapping soon! You know we are getting anxious when a post is started about what type of music we listen to in the sugarhouse lol. I personally tried the music thing and heres the conclusion I came too. First off I get real tired of hearing the same songs play over and over every 30 minutes on the radio, second I get tired of everyone who walks in the door either turn it up, or down or change the station to what they like and third the evaporator just plain ole talks to me and I can tell when it needs wood or its getting close to syrup or I need a little more defoamer without even looking at the rig, so after not being able to hear that and listening to music I cant stand or my ears are ringing from satan screaming through the speakers or Im saying shhhh constantly cause a good tune is on and I cant hear it I decided the radio needed to take the trip out the door and into the snowbank. But to my suprise last night my 11 year old walks in the door after shoping with mom he pulls out a new radio from the bag and says " I bought us a new radio for the sugarhouse cause the old one doesnt work" Lucky me.

Classic rock, talk radio, and NPR..........used to have a little TV to catch March Madness, but found I cant concentrate on an evaporator, filter press, RO, and a wood fire with that extra distraction, so I television has been banished from the sugarhouse........but what I really look forward to is when the first Red Sox spring training game is broadcast! That's just the best- listening to the game on the radio and making a barrell or two of syrup at the same time!

Satellite in the shack.. Usually Boneyard since they did away with Buzzsaw (where else could you hear the likes of Robin Trower, UFO and Uriah Heep?).

Talk Radio if we're boiling on the weekdays.

I like adk1's idea of hearing the evaporator running. Brings you back a ways when we didnt have all this crap running and blowers, vacuums, pumps all that stuff. All it used to be was the arch doors screaching shut and the sccops and skimmers clanking around....ah...those were the days! How many of us shut all that crap off once in a while just for that reason? gotta love the old school.
