RE: OT: music in the garage

[Paul Lennemann <pjlenn@xxxxxxxxx>]

I tried some of the web based radio back in the early days but had kind 
of forgotten about it.  I have a lot of music on my laptop so I take it 
out to the garage where I have an old receiver and plug it into that.  I 
also have Dooner "redneckin" my stock radio so I will be able to plug in 
my Ipod or computer.  I like my tunes!!  
I also 2nd the satellite radio thing.  I have the Mygig radio in my 08 
Town & Country with satellite radio and I love it.  You can always find 
something to listen to and it's great for long trips so you don't have 
to keep searching for the local radio stations.
