I found a couple of resources I wanted to talk about

First I thought I'd try gathering twitter subject matter and displaying it as RSS. Any opinions on whether there is any value here? Certainly the subject matter is fleeting, and it's something you could do from your own twitter account. Here is a link to my trial page.

And as a backup topic here is a link to free literature from Loyal Books
Music Notation and Terminology. A lot of these free books are rather old, but if they are teaching generic theory aren't they still worth reading?

Here is an online source for Sheet Music.

Basic Green and Whitebutton
Is this still a useful resource in these modern times? I'm not a musician myself although music is in the family in both the generation before and after me. Still I never see anything but marching bands using sheet music. I wonder what the story is?

Daniel Radcliffe Raps Blackalicious' "Alphabet Aerobics"



I caught this the night it showed on The Tonight show, but it came up again today.

Could the threatened innocent boy wizard seem any different in a beard throwing out rap?

Does it seem like real rap coming from a white, English boy? I actually find it less annoying

to the ear than most rap, but I cannot explain why.  Inter-generational resistance to change

is how I used to explain it but now I'm lost for why.

Does understanding Music History help you understand Music? Does it make the music coming out of you better? I'm interested in Musicians opinions?
