I'm not sure about the universiality of the phenomenon, but almost everywhere I
go I am running some song or other through my head. The recent death of Warren Zevon made me realise that "Lawyers, Guns and Money" was one of the songs that I often replayed mentally while skiing. When we ski with our kids "Freight Train Blues" is almost always sung by one or all of us. Since our sport is very rhythmic I was wondering what music people sing to themselves or listen to on a portable music device while they're skiing. g.c. |

I had one of my lifetime favorite ski outings at Stokely while listening to Crowded
House...and...and...AC/DC maybe. I forget, but I do recall the CH. Maybe also Jane Siberry's first album. It was a spring skiing day, warm, slushy, fast, perfect, perfect. I don't often ski with walkman but that was one good one. A little bota-bag of white wine with some bread'n'cheese is a very smart idea, too.

Probably showing my age, but here's a couple recurrent themes:

Oh, you were asking BOTH about songs that run thru your head AND music we listen to.
I think that songs don't go thru my head unless I'm going real hard then it's BACK IN BLACK. -- Jeff Potter **** *Out Your Backdoor * http://www.outyourbackdoor.com for modern folkways and culture revival... ...offering "small world" views on bikes, bows, books, movies... ...new books featuring: XC ski culture, a Gulf Coast thriller folding bicycles ... with radical novels coming up! ...original downloadable music ... and articles galore! plus national "Off the Beaten Path" travel forums!
