[musictlk] (WebBraille)

Thu Jun 21 06:25:43 CDT 2007

I think because the discussion is only related to the book and not how it
affects a blind, as opposed to a sighted student, we should take the
discussion off list.  I wouldn't discuss my particular homework assignment
or the book I was reading (music-relate or not) on the list.  Since we're
essentially discussing your unique experiences and questions with the book
and not how the book relates to blind musicians, I thik we should continue
the discussion off of the list.  Again, my e-mail address is
freedmas at stolaf.edu, and feel free to e-mail any time.
