When you go to a coffee shop for your morning coffee, whether you are just ordering to go, or ordering to stay and drink there, say from 6am to 10am. What would you rather listen to?  Soft mellow music, talk radio, or news?

I don't really go to coffee shops in the morning but if I did, I would prefer news.

New Age Music, somewhat upbeat, al la, Vangelis, Jon Anderson, Bruce BecVar, B-Tribe, Shadowfax, Oregon etc... If I can't listen to news while getting ready, or riding in the car, I sure as sugar don't want to hear it while I'm trying to relax and get my brain working.

So if the world is going to stop spinning tomorrow, not much I could do anyway, so who cares? Suicide is painless, why push it?

In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

My whole thought was since stopping in for a coffee might be somewhat of a luxury these days, that it should be more of an "oasis" I figured that people wouldnt want to hear news and everything else that they hear at home getting ready or in their car on the way to work.

LoL.  'Suicide is painless.'  Ock's worst nightmare would be to walk into a coffee shop and have the M*A*S*H theme song playing ad infinitum.

I'd rather have a mellow tone to the visit, I can catch the news in my car or at home

But Doc K, being maybe the only other JAZZ FAN on this board, you've got to know I love the original piece!
NICE CATCH. I bat 100's out there, but few have ever been snagged. I think you got one here and someone else pulled out DOC HOLIDAY! LOL! (You did know he was a local boy didn't you?)

I love New Age as well but it must tell a story or go somewhere... Abercrombies TIMELESS or anything by OREGON are the key bridge sounds.
