Since they are maintained by someone who doesn't really know what to blog about and doesn't have the time to do so either, you are currently wasting precious time in your life reading these lines. If you should nonetheless find something that amuses you or catches your interest in some other way, do let me know about it! - I will certainly be very happy for you!

Enjoy the few items that are already present on these pages and I welcome you to visit again soon! <br /> <br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7690294-109070314328298186?l=hiphimusic.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Philhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12392593708849579036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7690294.post-1090445727449186412004-07-21T23:35:00.000+02:002004-07-21T23:35:27.450+02:00For those of you who weren't aware of it yet - and I was one of you until just a few minutes ago (!) - the following website among the 'Berklee College of Music' family of websites offers free downloadable music-related lessons covering topics from music business & management to instrumental lessons. <br /> <br /><a href="http://www.berkleeshares.com/">Berklee Shares: free music lessons, mp3, quicktime and pdf files download</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7690294-109044572744918641?l=hiphimusic.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Philhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12392593708849579036noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7690294.post-1090353668868483302004-07-21T00:30:00.000+02:002004-07-21T00:29:24.903+02:00<a href="http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&amp;cid=599&amp;e=1&amp;u=/nm/20040720/media_nm/media_sony_bmg_dc">Yahoo!
