I have no idea what "learning your trade" has got to do with producing "good" music. In fact there is no such thing as good/bad music just music one likes and music one doesn't. If lift music gets your booty wiggling and your heart rate jumpin then its "good" for you ttfn R _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
