I bought my first banjo about a month ago, and I’ve been practicing a little.
I am glad to give a recommendation to the guys at banjo.com for helping me out. They have a new store inside Town Center Mall now.
Here is a sample of how I’m doing so far.

Of that list, I do listen a lot to The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Bruce Springsteen, and U2.

Who knew that cows like classical music?
Start Slide Show with PicLens LiteOn Hans Pieter Sieber’s Priegola dairy farm in Villanueva del Pardillo, Spain, the secret to success is not some newfangled technology or machine. Nor is it a time-tested technique or process handed down from generation to generation. Rather it is the dulcet, layered tones of classical music.
And not just any music.
Sieber exposes his herd of approximately 700 heifers to the famous chords, crescendos and cadences of Austrian composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
Apple CEO has some very interesting thoughts on music and digital rights management (DRM). It is refreshing that a man with such power and so much at stake is so brutally honest.
With the stunning global success of Apple’s iPod music player and iTunes online music store, some have called for Apple to “open” the digital rights management (DRM) system that Apple uses to protect its music against theft, so that music purchased from iTunes can be played on digital devices purchased from other companies, and protected music purchased from other online music stores can play on iPods. Let’s examine the current situation and how we got here, then look at three possible alternatives for the future.
Why would the big four music companies agree to let Apple and others distribute their music without using DRM systems to protect it? The simplest answer is because DRMs haven’t worked, and may never work, to halt music piracy. Though the big four music companies require that all their music sold online be protected with DRMs, these same music companies continue to sell billions of CDs a year which contain completely unprotected music. That’s right! No DRM system was ever developed for the CD, so all the music distributed on CDs can be easily uploaded to the Internet, then (illegally) downloaded and played on any computer or player.
