Contact information: You can try to reach me by sending email to: info@zeppmusic.com, but please don't expect a timely--much less immediate--response. I do travel and have moved on to other things.
19 May 2015: I began a banjo- and guitar-oriented blog on this site . I plan to share some observations and teaching information here, as well as some of my philosophy about music and life in general. Please take a look, and feel free to comment! (FTM, I do occasionally post onanother blog, regarding my career interest: entomology.)

Frames have (rightly) fallen out of favor for several good reasons, not the least of which being that your browser never quite knows what page it's on, making bookmarking and URL-sharing a tiny bit awkward.
So why, you ask, did I persist in using frames? Well, for one, it would have been a whole lot of work to redo the entire site(s), which had tended to grow in unpredictable directions, somewhat like slime molds. There were always more pressing projects, e.g. photographing and/or recording my wares. Further, when I created these sites, most of us were on dial-ups, and fancy graphics and the like made websites crawl--mine were Lynx-compatible! (Google it). And finally, ca. 2008, my eldest son chastised my horribly old-fashioned web design; but he considered it a while and then concurred that I and my business catered to an old-fashioned market, and not to a demographic inclined to be dazzled by flash (lower case). Instead, my customers appreciated the information conveyed more than the packaging. Over the years, it's literally true that I had at least a 100:1 ratio of folks who said they "loved" my site vs. those who complained about the frames.
I was very much inclined not to redo the sites, if for no other reason that it meant I wouldn't have to spend weeks and weeks recoding everything and then correcting all those new errors I had spent so much time building in.
