Bob Gillis Professional Musician and Teacher
Not so much a part of our recommended resources than an
honor to let you know that my mentor and teacher of my daughter has
recently added his web site to the web. Bob teaches in Denver Colorado
and I have much respect for his teaching and musicianship.
He
has just put up some new pages and has given us his own arrangement of
Nature Boy and published a cut of it using his new digital
samples
for keyboard. Some amazing sound if you ask me. You can check it out at www.bob-gillis.com.
Bob Reno's Loving and Learning Music Theory
Composer, arranger, pianist and teacher. Bob has been primarily a composer, but shares my enthusiasm about music theory as a study of the discipline’s principles as opposed to its practice. Bob has been teaching music theory and composition, along with several other music courses since 1983, and is the author of Materials of Music, a two-year music theory text for colleges and universities.
This is a complimentary site to MLW and has several articles on harmony that are worth checking out. Visit Bob at Loving and Learning Music Theory.

by SKDesigns. Great choices of graphics. http://linkwaregraphics.com/music/
Computer Maintenance
I'm a heavy power user of computers. One of the things that happens is the amount of corruption of files and registry cleaning that takes place. Using the free or shareware produces has been a mixed bag.
I've started going to the paid packages and have found them to provided a better experience overall. However, not all paid packages are created equal as you can imagine.
Recently I've become acquainted with a new site called Fix Your PC Problems.org that is developing articles on getting to know what the computer errors are and the causes. The recommended software that helps fix registry errors and identifies driver updates, spy ware and getting data back are good packages. If you are getting crashes and windows error messages this is a good place to learn about how to get them fixed.
Web
Site Building
Should you be interested in starting your own web site there are a
several tools and resources I have used. I
will add those that have been of the most use and beneficial to me here.
Site Build It (SBI) is my host and educator for building this web site. If you are
just
starting out I highly recommend it. The once a year fee includes the
hosting and tools that is unmatchable by anyone else for the beginner.
A direct link to find out information is on the bottom of every page of
this web site next to the copyright.
