No real mystery here:

Math, Music, and Computer Programming all use the same parts of the
brain. There is a lot of overlap between these three activities.

Even better (for a struggling / poor band) is nuv. For the whopping price
of $0.00 (includes shipping, handling, and all taxes), you can download
this program from www.nuv.org.  There are binary versions for MS-Windows,
Linux, and MacOSX.

A local Wendell musician, Francis Doughty (www.francisdoughty.com),
uses this tool and swears by it.

I actually would advocate *against* Dream Weaver -- it is too easy to
get suckered into including various sorts of junk (like gratuious Flash
stuff) into your web page.  Nuv is simple and straight forward.
