[NFBWATlk] Happening now: We're With U! Concert—Over 100 blind performers

[Humberto Avila]

Marci and All, 

Yes, I would agree that this is just such an amazing show. It is really well done and well organized. I am recording it with my Victor Reader Stream, as I'm not able to listen well due to some family obligations. But from what I can tell, it is awesome and worth supporting the cause. 
A shout out to the NFB for their willingness to collaborate on this effort alongside many others. 

Thanks, take care and happy listening. 

Humberto
