So we had a hired gun onsite when we migrated the data down to TX. His expertise was this kind of data move and he had done the legwork down in TX to prepare things.
The move started at 9pm and was scheduled to go through 3 am. It was just a few tech guys hanging late for it. So I took off the headphones and had music playing through the speakers quietly on the desk. I figured something calm, but active enough to keep us awake would be best for the stress of the moment. I had turned on the Sinatra play list for the work.
The consultant guy thought this was the coolest thing. He had been through dozens and hundreds of these events and guys would always be playing rap or techno. Occasionally they might do some hard rock. He had me turn the music up.
It ended up with him asking what else I listened to. There was a touch of early jazz for examples and I found out that bluegrass and golden-age country was his shameful music passion. Sinatra was then punctuated with some Dry Branch Fire Squad.
Funny that. Cutting edge tech grooving along to backwoods mountain music. |

Mmm. Good stuff.
Mind. I'm all for the trance techno playing when I need to make computer things happen. :) | |
