DO IT YOURSELF LINKS
(VERY INCOMPLETE, ALWAYS CONTAINING BAD LINKS AND ALWAYS UNDER CONSTRUCTION!)

Since we needed a place to save some of the useful links and notes we sometimes use as part of our services anyhow, we thought we would share them with you. Feel free to use whatever seems helpful, but understand that we have no control over the accuracy or appropriateness of any opinion or advice contained in any of these sources. (By offering this information, we are not providing formal legal advice, and we are not creating a lawyer/client relationship.) If you become aware of other similar resources that may be of assistance to your fellow musicians, please let us know so that we might include them here.
