Never mind the Bee S#arps seeks to demystify the language and concepts of traditional music theory using an informal, good humoured approach and is an ideal text for all those musicians who learn 'by ear'. The book establishes a clear, step-by-step guide through the fundamentals of pitch, intervals, chords, keys, progressions, transpositions and modulations to explain why we talk about and notate music the way we do. Whether you are new to music theory or already have some prior knowledge, this book will help you to develop a more complete understanding of the 'dots' and the links between theory and practice. Pop musicians learn by ear and there is no great tradition of reading music in pop and rock, much less writing it down. This is both a strength and a weakness. By learning aurally you tend to improve your practical skills quite rapidly and this will quickly outpace your theoretical understanding. Pop musicians are often critical of themselves in this regard - 'I can play OK, but I don't really know how I do it, or what I am doing.' This is not an issue for many, nor should it be, but this book aims to bring theory and practice closer together by equipping you with the fundamental skills required to write your music down and to have greater confidence in your comprehension of musical terminology, harmony and how it relates to the music you write, record and perform.

His route begins in the heel of Italy's boot and runs up through Rome and Siena, beside the sea at Cinque Terre, northward to Genoa. Skirting the Ligurian coastline, passing harbors of the rich and famous at Monte Carlo, the trail turns west across France and over the Pyrénnées into Spain near Pamplona. From this point thousands of pilgrims walk the north of Spain each year, heading for the cathedral at Santiago de Compostela. Six months of the author's twists, turns, and trials converge with the stories of those who traveled from all over Spain, from many points of Western Europe, from countries all around the world.

It was an early morning call that destroyed Dannan's peaceful sleep. It was a call that would send him hundreds of miles away. It was a call that could end his life and that of two friends: McTivin and his son. If J.B. refused to follow instructions, if he did not at least attempt to rescue them, they would surely die. Little did Dannan know that a horrific set of events awaited him. He had no idea that many people were about to die. But he was left with little choice. If he didn't kill a friend, his career would be over. His life as he knew it would end. His investigative business would suffer irreparable damage and he would spend years in prison. If Dannan reached out to his CIA friend, what help would they offer? Would he get any help at all? Would his cousin, a chief of police, be able to help? Then just when J.B. Dannan thinks his situation can't get any worse, he is contacted by an anonymous caller and ordered to kill another person...a stranger...a woman he doesn't even know. His decision will change the rest of his life. Will he be able to find a solution to his unthinkable dilemma? Or will he be unable to stop the events that can ultimately disgrace and destroy him?
