You can listen to Karen's chat with Lee and I at Lee's MusicBridges Drupal - "The Kickoff Webcast with Karen Ellis" Post.

Karen was thoughtful enough to leave no less than 36 additional links to quality websites that help to explain what Karen was speaking about. Please spend some time looking at these sites. We think you will find them spectacular.
