I like a VERY wide variety of music, but tend to pick the more mellow stuff when tying. Its usually in the range of folksy-country to hippie. Folksy country would include Guy Clark, Slaid Cleaves, Todd Snider, Patti Griffin and the like. Hippie would range from the Dead to Marley to Jack Johnson to Keller Williams. Nice to have the tying desk next to the iTunes loaded mac and all thats on it. Never tried classical, something that elegant might be ideal should I ever feel the need to tie Catskills or Wulffs.
