Class Post: Fun with words

I had fun playing with the new online Glossary with audio.
It was more than just a Glossary with audio clips, Ross when above and beyond to not only explain a little about where the clips came from, but in some cases went on give a little more background and other interesting related information.
I went through all twenty-six letters of the alphabet. I was originally going to choose just M and B to look at.
It's great sometimes because he has clips of several different aspects of terms. For example the added-6 chord has 3 different examples, some abstract, and others in context. I had not noticed that the repetitive motif in Mack the Knife was structured around an added-6 chord, but after hearing it, it made perfect sense.

Other fun parts are in the links that you would necessarily pay attention to in the glossary, the ones that include the record label, and catalog number. I clicked on a few of those.
Certain other links in the glossary correspond directly to the book's companion audio samples online. Ross's blog for his book has certainly become more than just a blog. It's like having a CD-ROM or something for a text book. His passion for the book and the topic are evident in the amount of time he seems to spend. He almost creates his own little The Rest is Noise world.
