[musictlk] Blind Pianists

[karen mcDonald]

The last music I bought was some Scott Joplin music books.  I 
ordered them from National Braille Press.  They had one book in 
stock, but I bought the other one and they transcribed it for me.  
I also use recordings.  I have a lot of Braille music that I 
bought over 30 years ago in my college days from the American 
Printing House for the Blind.  I borrow very little music.  The 
little I have borrowed is from the music section at NLS.  I have 
the GoodFeel software from Dancing Dots and I plan to start 
scanning a lot more print music in order to convert it into 
Braille.  That will open doors for me that I can't even imagine.
