Whistle While You Work

Yesterday was such a beautiful day here! Sunny, breezy, and in the mid 60s - not your typical January weather in Virginia. I took advantage of it, opened the windows to get some fresh air, and scrubbed the kitchen floor. Naturally, I also put on a CD to sing and whistle along with to make the work go faster. :)

It just so happens that I have gotten into a tradition of always playing a John Marshall Family CD while I scrub. I'd Do It All Again, Just For A Moment, and Peace are the three that we have.

I have gotten attached to the Mulfinger CDs when we're taking down all the Christmas decorations and cleaning up from the holidays, and Adagio Trio CDs when we're getting ready for company. Now when I hear that music, it instantly brings those occasions to mind. :)

Does anyone else have favorite music to work to?

It was really warm here yesterday, too! Not bad today either. But still gray and overcast. I listen to music sometimes while I work. My tastes are pretty eclectic, so I wouldn't say I have a "favorite" to work to. I just like some variety so I don't get bored!

Like Stephanie I like variety.

I see where our summer has gone! It's ridiculously cold here in our hottest month of the year. Right now it's 17.8C which is 64F.

Hi Sarah! Isn't it interesting how certain music can remind us of places and events. My kitchen floor needs scrubbing so I may try your 'whistle while you work' thought and get to work on that today!

We love the Marshall family music...and we have every cassette and cd ever published. I've never heard of the Mulfinger cds. Is that the Mulfinger family from BJU? (Dr. Mulfinger was my cello teacher there.) Music is a big part of our lives...always someone practicing or a cd playing. Thanks for sharing!

I enoy listening to Charlie Zahm. Our children will often turn on Celtic music while they work around the kitchen.

I do that too! In fact, recently I put on a CD that I hadn't listened to for awhile and when it started playing I was immediately taken back to last year when I listened to it almost non-stop while I cleaned my room{majorly--days long project}. I'm thinking maybe that wasn't such a great idea. :)

I haven't heard about the Marshall family in years! Never had any of their CD's but I used to go to their website and listen to the soundclips.
