[musictlk] Just curious

[Ken The PionEar]

That's actually a clever methodology. You wouldn't have to know a smigeon of 
Braille music that way.
Check out my games at
www.ThePionEar.net
and my music, and that of my band, at
www.ThePionEar.net/BlindLabyrinth.html .
Also, check out, "The Believer and Skeptic Show," at iTunes!
If you want to reach me, you can call 419-744-0517, friend me on Facebook, 
(KenWDowney,) or write me at kenWDowney at me.com .
