Heart Pandora radio

As I've mentioned before, I just got DSL after more than twelve years on dial-up, so I'm exploring things I've never imagined--things that are probably old hat to you folks!

Today's discovery was Pandora. I read on the site that you could enter into the search the name of an artist, track or comoposer, and they would find you music based on that.

I figured, okay, I'll try a few different artists to see what happens. To start with, I typed in "Doyle Lawson", and GUESS WHAT? I never had to do anything else, they play bluegrass gospel for me, which is my favorite and my husband's also!

Just like magic. I love it.

I love Pandora. It's playing in the background now.

YouTube also has what seems to be and endless supply of music to listen to. You can also try playlist.com and search for favorites and create your own playlist.

Love Pandora! I also listen to "homemade" on-line radio stations as well. Wise Radio and Wizard Radio play pop-rock-indie type music. Nixa Country plays a lot of indie country artists.

I wasn't too thrilled with it, deleted it off my phone long time ago. I like Jimmy Buffett. And they did play a FEW of his songs. Then it went to country. Not! I wanted Buffett only. They wouldn't do it, so I deleted it.

Since you now have DSL it also gives you some options on watching TV on line for free. Try Hulu, you have to sign up, but the info they require is limited to use it for free. Of course they also offer a premium plan too. The free edition just requires you disabled ad blockers for the site and watch a few commercials.

Not really any worse than regular TV and you can pick what you watch.

I'm going to check out Hulu, too. Now that I have a laptop and can use it on the couch or in the recliner I can probably watch all kinds of stuff n it that I couldn't with the desktop.

Pandora is awesome. Internet radio -- what a concept. I have quite a variety of artists and styles of music that I enjoy listening to. I get tired of CD's because it's always the same thing. And, on-air radio stations are that way too. I greatly appreciate the variety on Pandora.
