		<title>Help Me Find Concert Venues</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a few big gigs/events to go to next year, but they&#8217;re spread across many months.  I&#8217;d like to use each gig as a base, and play concerts along the way.
Here&#8217;s the routes I have to take:

Dallas, TX to Clarksville, TN &#8211; this one is around March 18, 2011.

		<title>Music as a Commodity vs. an Experience</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In a business roudtable-style discussion today at the APSU Summer Guitar Workshop a participant asked me what I thought about CD sales.  He asked if I thought that was a dead end &#8212; an unprofitable business.  I&#8217;ll tell you my answer in a bit, but first a story.

		<title>Wedding Music</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s kind of odd being on the other side of the wedding music thing.  As I&#8217;m a composer (sort of), and my Fiancée is contributing her visual art skillz in making invitations, I thought I should creatively contribute to the wedding plans.
So here&#8217;s my first attempt.  It&#8217;s an easy piece.  AND infinitely [...]]]></description>

		<title>An Observation About Analysis</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When you study music for a long time, you analyze music almost without thinking.
