Since nearly all of my target shooting takes place while I'm alone, in the very comfortable interior of my home, with the little lady out making a supply run and getting in her usual, all-but-daily (five or six days a week) exercise regimen of brisk walking and an easy jog... -I- like to fire up some tunes for company while I'm at it! Yep, the wife is out there keeping the meat machine in top-notch working order, dodging mud, water, cyclists, slowpoke seniors, out of control kids, other joggers, power-walkers (oh no, not that!!!!), leaping the all too common, flying, running, crawling, slithering, snarling, pecking/snapping/biting/stinging/scratching/spitting/screaming VERY angry critters, workin' up a good heavy sweat, enjoying the freezin,' nearly sub-zero bitter cold, slip-slidin' around on the ice, trying to ignore the snow, sleet, enormous hail, the horrible humidity, dangerous air quality index and record high temps... all while I'm chillin' at home, nice and comfy inside, new KLH towers aligned just so, heat or A/C goin' full blast, tunes playing at warp volume, stereo remote and a hot or cold drink within easy reach, lots of pellets for groups carefully lined up and air rifles at the ready... She's out there workin' much too hard, exercising and bringing home the bacon, while I'm at home having just about ALL the fun possib... I mean... no, wait! ...while I'm making sure my aim will be true next time a rogue, risk-taking rat comes around lookin' for food, water, shelter and a female rat of the opposite sex... Yeah, that's it! No, really, that's what I'm doing! ;-)
Anyway, in general, judging by the monthly information generated by the Tidal online music service to which I subscribe, it seems that more often than not, Instrumental Blue, New and any/all other types of 'grass, with or without vocals and the awesome, multi-performer harmonies for which Bluegrass is so famous (or infamous <grin>)) is the music most likely to be heard while I'm shooting. On the other hand, I enjoy just about all types of music, so it wouldn't be all that unusual to hear instead some hard-drivin' (or easy goin') classic, alternative or all-but-impossible-to-categorize rock'n'roll (although, unlike the very, VERY far-off days of my youth, heavy (or any) metal won't be found in there nowadays). If not Bluegrass or Rock, how about some oh-so-sweet, earlier, and to me, REAL Country music? Then again, a little acoustic blues goes down real easy, but of course, some Stevie Ray Vaughan, Albert Collins, Eric Clapton and any of the zillion other blazin' hot guitar-master bluesmen (and women) would do. Maybe some of that absolutely bumpin' old Motown sound, or some Folk music, Jazz, Classical (easy on the Opera) or? MUSIC!
How about y'all? Do you like music to shoot by, or do you prefer silence? If you would enjoy some shootin' music, what would it be? Would it be all of one genre or a mix of several (or many)? Enquiring minds want to know! ;-)
