Reply to "WHAT TUNES DO YOU JAM TO WHEN RUNNING TRAINS?"

I'm slightly surprised that no one listens to actual hobo music, the songs of Woody Guthrie and Cisco Houston (real-life hobos), or the "singing brakeman" Jimmy Rodgers ("All Around The Water Tank" - a true classic!)

 

Don't know of any 100,000 watt sound systems in hobo camps to make that heavy metal noise.  I do, however, admit to occasionally listening to "Tuxedo Junction" by Erskine Hawkins and performed by Glenn Miller because it is the namesake of my layout.  Also don't know of any big bands in hobo camps.

ps - The best doo wop group is The Jive Five; the best song "My True Story."
