    Although I've lurked and replied to a couple of people off list on
    one topic or another, this will be my first on list posting, and thus
    my introduction as well. I seldom if ever listen to music at the
    bench.  While I work I play Teaching Company
    (http://www.teach12.com/teach12.asp) educational tapes for the most
    part, but also motivational, sales training, personal development
    and other books or lectures on tape.  Even if I'm working and not
    really paying attention for much of the time, it all seems to stick. 
    I've built up a fair collection of this sort of material and don't
    mind listening to it several times.  Some of the teaching company
    lectures run 36 to 48 hours, so a single listening is good for a work
    week.  Occasionaly I run videos such as Alan Revere's nice
    goldsmithing set.  I also have a small collection of tapes that I've
    made on which I've simply recorded information I wish to memorize or
    review. The distraction keeps me fresh at the bench when I'm doing
    repetitive tasks like throwing hundreds of bezels, makes double use
    of the work time, improves my skill, gives me new knowledge or ideas
    and, oddly enough, helps me focus when I'm doing technical work like
    soldering. -Robert Beauford Wildsmith Gallery Taos, NM
