[musictlk] Inaccessible online contact forms and Websites

[Andrew English (paper music)]

Thanks, Joshua! You're absolutely right!
I am sighted and I despise websites that have spontaneous music or sound, 
and also those that are so graphics-heavy you can't tell what's going on! 
Keep it simple, people!
The curmudgeon has spoken.
