[Perform-Talk] Resources for Electronic of Hymnals

[Amy Sabo]

hello chris,

well, as to your question I do on this but, why not post your
messagelso to the faith-talk list on nfbnet as well to since this is a
religious matter besides a one for the performing arts list too! i'm
sure that someone in that league with dealing with your religion can
assist you in that matter.  I hope this information is available to
you too!  take care and good luck!



hugs,
amy
