Viewing How To Books

The picture above is one of the views outside on the deck of my home.  My son-in-law climbed up on a ladder to attach the face on his tree.  Then my daughter planted the flowers in the planter you see there on the rail.

This is a summertime reminder of all the beauty that surrounds us here in God’s world.

However it is now time to move on to some autumn projects that I have in mind, so I am starting work on another guide (topic not known as yet) which will be similar in make-up to my recent Quick Books Guide.  Click here to read about Quick Books Guide.

Music Appreciation

“Musical training is a more potent instrument than any other because rhythm and harmony find their way into the inner places of the soul” -Plato

Click on the link below and listen to this wonderful music by Ludwig Van Beethoven.  Your windows media player will enhance the music with color and motion.

That may be rather heavy stuff and is possibly not your kind of music, so on a lighter note, here is a little something you can do with your electronic keyboard.

If you have a favorite song that is fairly simple, try tapping the tune out on your keyboard with one finger. After you have memorized the keys, play the tune with a second note which is two notes up or sometimes try two notes down on your keyboard.

Just listen to the sound to see which way is most appealing to your ears. When you have the right sound, memorize it this way and “bingo” you have just played your first song.

One of my favorites is a song called “Rain Drops” on a CD named “101 Strings & Pianos”. It is a classical piece and when you hear it played on the CD you think “ I could never play this in a million years”, but I tried the above “playing by ear” method and it actually sounded quite good and I had fun with it.  Of course I still play the CD over and over again on my stereo and the tune repeats itself in my mind.

I have written a guide with some music and screen shots.  Visit the following page to find out more.

A new ad from The Source piqued my interest today.

Since many people will be contemplating road trips for this summer, this would be a great little product to take along.

It is a very inexpensive electronic device & since you probably don’t use your car lighter very much or maybe not at all you can leave it plugged in all the time.

This particular offer is only in effect to May 26,2010.
