[Perform-talk] intro

[Donna Hill]

Hi Jamie,
I play guitar and piano, sing and write. I used to play recorder, but 
let it slip with everything else making my life so busy. No, I don't 
read Braille music. I tried to learn it three times and got far enough 
that I could read a piano part with a three-note chord in the left hand 
and a melody note in the right, but I was a lot further along with that 
in my playing, and I lost interest in it. I think it's best if you learn 
that as a kid when you don't question why they made the symbols one off 
from the standard alphabet -- 'd in literary Braille = 'c in Braille 
music, etc.
Blessings,
Donna
