what's in a name

you may wonder what the name of my blog stands for. 'common pool' refers to a resource that can be used by anyone, such as the air we all breathe; there is no one owning that, or able to limit access to it. i like that idea when it comes to learning material for playing the guitar. while unlimited access is problematic for some resources (such as people using clean air for emitting toxic substances) it is great when it comes to information of this kind.

the main reason for using this name is that i would like others to join in not only swimming in this pool, but also adding water to it (or providing some nice chairs along the side). if you have any material you want me to post, or link to, just send me a message.

now i will be looking at some stuff from mbira players (the african thumb piano); i have the idea that this might be good material for the eightstring.....
