Hi Bill,

I'm glad Dancing Dots is getting this kind of exposure. Your entire team 
deserves it. I had the privelege of working with Gordon back in November of 
last year, and I will say for the record that it was an enlightening 
experience, not to mention a fun one for myself, my family, and a cousin of 
mine who I'm sure Gord will remember. DD has made music recording accessible 
for all of us, and that's something that all blind musicians should be greatful 
for. I personally would like to see more exposure for DD, and plan on 
contributing in any way I can toward that happening.

  Check out page 63 of the May issue of Electronic Musician for a well-written 
article on accessibility for musicians with disabilities.  It's called: 
  "Studio Solutions for Disabled Musicians" by Scott Wilkinson and 

  Joanna Cazden.   



  We're happy that the authors included our praise for some of the companies 
that have been so supportive of our work including Cakewalk, Sibelius and 
Freedom Scientific.  There's a bit of encouragement included for other 
companies we'd like to see make some progress in the area of accessibility.  
You will also find some names that may be quite familiar to you: Mike Mandel, 
Gordon Kent, David Pinto, Peter Elsea, Albert Milani and yours truly.  There 
are also a number of other interesting people who may not be so familiar to you 
and their own stories and struggles are engaging and enlightening.



  My thanks to so many of you who work every day to improve access in general.  
In particular, I applaud Mike Mandel and Gordon Kent who have been advocating 
on behalf of blind musicians at the last few annual meetings of the National 
Association of Music Merchandisers (NAMM) shows.  Their patient persistence has 
already had a number of tangible good results including this exposure to the 
mainstream music industry.  It's just really nice to be heard over the general 
din out there, isn't it?



  Regards,

  Bill
