~Music and music-related links~

•    A really awesome lyrics website - although they got into some troubles over the legality of their copyright infringements and may not be totally up yet . . . go check and let me know. ;)
•    MP3 search site - pretty good, and there are occasional links off of it to others. I think Napster and Scour work the best. Check out MP3.com, too.  And if you need software to play your music, try this site or this site.
•     Like the song "American Pie"? Do you really know what it's about? Go here to find out - this is really interesting!
•    Musical instrument jokes - this site has an index of jokes by instrument, and check out the "Shrine of Bad Reeds."
•     The EMPIRE STATE YOUTH ORCHESTRA!!!!!!!!! woohoo!!! I was in the Junior Wind Ensemble sophomore year (clarinet), the Repertory Orchestra junior year (oboe), and the Youth Orchestra senior year (oboe). It was an incredible experience, so support this group; if you're in the area, go to the concerts, they're really terrific! J
