[blindkid] music at convention

[Peter Donahue]

Hello Carrie and listers,

    Let me find that article about our music festival and will post it in 
the next few days. It was a wonderful event for those who participated. It's 
too bad it wasn't replaced with an activity such as the NFB Youth SLAM or 
something similar. We're talking about the 1970s. Though the technology 
wasn't there such an event was doable. We proved that with such activities 
like that music festival.
