[nfbwatlk] FW: "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" Aids Blind Musicianwith Help from Dancing Dots

[Jedi]

It'll be interesting to see the technology in action, but I hope that it
won't be as bad as the last blind man's home they made over on public
television. Remember that? Gah.

Respectfully,
Jedi

Dancing Dots is delighted to announce that the next edition of ABC's
popular hit show "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" television program
will showcase vital technology for blind musicians from Dancing Dots.
Tune in on Sunday, Feb. 17, 2008, to see how our technology plays such a
special part in this makeover.
 
During each episode, the producers of the show come to the aid of a
deserving family. One of the members of this week's family is a talented
and highly motivated blind musician who will learn to use technology
donated by Dancing Dots to independently learn new musical material and
to create sophisticated, multi-track sound recordings. "Dancing Dots
welcomes this opportunity to spread the word about what talented blind
musicians can now accomplish with the right tools", said Dancing Dots
founder and president, Bill McCann. "We also deeply appreciate all the
support from our friends at Cakewalk Music Software,  Freedom Scientific
and so many others throughout the industry that has made a dream come
true for this gifted young man."

About Extreme Makeover Home Edition  
 
Put together one very run-down house, a deserving family, several
opinionated designers, seven days and what do you get? The answer is
Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Each episode of "Extreme Makeover: Home
Edition" is self-contained and features a race against time on a project
that would ordinarily take at least four months to achieve, involving a
team of designers, contractors and several hundred workers who have just
seven days to totally rebuild an entire house -- every single room, plus
the exterior and landscaping.  "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," which
has won back-to-back Emmy Awards as Best Reality Program
(non-competitive), is in its 5th season on ABC. The program is produced
by Endemol USA, a division of Endemol Holding. Denise Cramsey is the
executive producer; and David Goldberg is the president of Endemol USA.
