Hi,working as a interior house painter,the most important tool to keep your sanity is an old cheap boom box or clock radio.An Ipod or anything thats nice will soon get trashed just as your clothes will.It seems after Thanksgiving that every station plays Xmas music.Once and a while is good,but every day,day after day can drive you crazy.But for a favorite song is when old met new:1977 The Little Drummer Boy with Bing Crosby and David Bowie singing together,if it was not mentioned previously...Mark Korda
