help learning by ear? This is the thing. Slow down a CD, change
that tune from Eb to D, and loop a part over and over. Works perfectly, itÕs
cheap, and Roni Music continually upgrades me for free. How could you ask for
more? Everyone IÕve recommended it to raves about it. They also make a nice MIDI player
called Sweet MIDI Player. Box Factory for the Arts - Since 1995, the Berrien Artist Guild has worked hard to redevelop the old Williams Bros.

go to find Irish tunes in many formats. I visit this site at least once a day Ceolas Celtic music archive Ð the
home of Irish music on the internet since 1994, links to many tune sites,

His Thursday (10-midnight) show on 88.9 WSND-FM, Notre Dame, Indiana, is a treasure and a feast for the ear.
