[musictlk] music lessons

Dont know if you have ever used the music library of the NLS but the phone 
number I think is 1 800 424 8567.  You can check out all of Bill Brown's 
stuff here.  I am currently working on The Girl From Ipanema by using his 
tapes from the NLS.  I play primarily jazz fingerstyle.
