What are you listening to

No YouTube. I'm listening to Scuba Mom's collection of midi Steel Drums music.
I discovered last week that IrfanView plays midi files. To use VLC, you have to download and install a sound font which I don't want to do.

I do have a program that converts midis to mp3s so I can put mp3 songs on a microsd card and listen to them on one of our mp3 players.

When the temps are just above freezing here, it is nice to hear Island music and picture myself on a beach sipping a Tropical Drink!
 
Couple of tracks here that I used to listen to in the long hot summer of 1976, when I spent 12 weeks in dry dock on the ship I was serving on at the time ....... good memories. ;)

I was not born yet, but my dad also experienced that summer as long and extremely hot! He was a gardener, in particular in cutting hedges with heavy machinery.
He told me later that the summer of '76 was killing, to work in..

But John Miles - Music is a nice song. I like this, because I grow up with this kind of music, as well other songs which I still like to listen to nowadays.

Deep Purple - Child In Time - Live (1970)

 
Saw Purple live in Osaka in 1972 (I think it was 72 anyway). I was a cadet on my very first ship at the time, and we made port, where the ship's agent arranged tickets for the concert for a few of us who wanted to go to the concert.

1976 was one of the longest driest summers we've had. I was trading in the Baltic early on in that year, and then we moved into the North Sea and had trouble with a turbo-alternator, which meant we had to put into Falmouth for repairs. Repairs got complicated, so we ended up staying there for 12 weeks.

Great time, sunny weather, no work to do since I was Deck not Engineering, so in effect a 12 week all expenses paid holiday. Like I said, good memories. :D
