Wyndham Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Mrs W and I have some varied and different music tastes, but when plodding along on the rivers some songs ( for us ) just fit. This is actually inspired from one of Robins videos when he had a section with Christine and the Queens..... Tilted.... great cruising music. A couple of many songs we just love one the rivers,...what's yours? .....I hope this works, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what, reading your post, Carole King,, she'd work on the rivers. Bruce is just on a different level, Mrs W don't agree, but she does like one a lot... I'll try and find it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyndham Posted August 5, 2017 Author Share Posted August 5, 2017 Here you go.. Mrs W loves it, me to, just a shame Bruce let his wife anywhere near a microphone. This is better for cruising Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanessan Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 I'm with JM and theQ on this one, definitely no music just the sounds of the Broads. Even if they are accompanied by the putt putt of an engine! Or the crack of a sail 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deebee29 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 I'm a great lover of music but when on the Broads I'm with Vanessan,JM and TheQ and prefer the natural music of nature accompanied by the sound of the sail & boat engine 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveO Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 It has to be the "music" of the Broads, backed by a gently throbbing engine or the flapping of flappy things. Cheers Steve 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracie Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 The sound of the Broads for me, failing that, Gary Barlow/Take that will do (or the flappy thingies ), seriously, you can't beat hearing the sound of a flappy's sheets gently billowing in the wind, as long as I'm moored up of course and not trying to pass the ruddy things zig zagging all over the place Grace 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

addicted Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 the Pure Moods album does it for me or failing that some Dire Straits. Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauriceMynah Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 I love dire straits, but I wouldn't have thought it "river cruising music", no, I'd go more on some classical guitar music or perhaps any other of the more gentle classics. Schubert's Trout maybe. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Cruising music? Cruising? Music? Garlick? Bread? The only sound I listen to when cruising on the boat are the dulcet tones of a BMC 1.5 Diesel. Should I have 'second hand' music 'inflicted' on me when I'm moored up, or heaven forbid, soap opera blurting from a TV then it's on with the headphones and a medley of Beausoleil, Belton Richard and the Musical Aces, John Lee Hooker, Balfour Brothers, Taj Mahal, Blackbeard's Tea Party, Lee Benoit, Nathan Abshire and the Pine Grove Boys, Mississippi Fred McDowell...real swamp music to stamp your feet to! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauriceMynah Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Agreed, that's another problem with Dire Straits, they need volume up high. Nothing can be heard from my boat (bar snoring). I sometimes drive my car down our local high street with my windows open while the CD is playing Vivaldi full blast. It confuses the kids! :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Status quo could lull anyone to sleep , thing is though its horses for courses , some don't like music onboard others do , some like this category of music and other don't , that's one good thing about humans we are all individuals and as long as we don't go around blasting out our favourites and annoying others then everything is just fine I recon .

Lets face it, if you can hear the burble of a Beta diesel and smell "fish & chips" you know it's me anyway without your being deafened with Dvorak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
