You Know that feeling....

Early morning mist into day

Vaughan Williams 'Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis' leading into the Jacqueline du Pré /Daniel Barenboim version of Elgar's Cello Concerto.
 
For sailing:

Mendelssohn's Hebrides Overture (good for a bit of swell)
Barber's Adagio For Strings, sung as an Agnus Dei
Led Zeppelin - Cabins Of The Holy (home-burned compilation CD)
OST - Master & Commander: The Far Side Of The World (VERY good!!)
Dire Straits - Telegraph Road

Not under way:

Gabriel Faure's Requiem
Hed Kandi - Winter Chill 09.04 (Katie Melua, Mantra etc)
Tori Amos - Boys For Pele
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - No More Shall We Part

Radio Station

For East-Coast sailors, try 675mw. It's a Dutch station, Arrow Classic Rock, and can be guaranteed to play 60s - 80s rock 24-7, with hardly any speech (except adverts) much of the time. The Dutch-English hybrid station IDs are also genuine old-school rockaholic!!
 
Eagles

I'd heartily agree here - the only shortcoming is that Crystal's godfather & regular crew begins to weep like a child at the first few bars of "Lyin' Eyes", and we have to put something else on...

Incidentally, a friend of mine just came back from Winslow, Arizona, which is apparently full of tourists "standing on a corner". And shops selling T-shirts to tell the world you did it, too.

The first two would be my choice too. The extraordinary thing is No 1 son seems to be coming around to that POV too, even though he'd shown no sign of it before now. Maybe something happens in yr 20s!
