Hi. sorry for the on list replies! She wrote blind musicians in the title and that is actually another e mail list I am subscribed to. Every post to that list has the words "blind musicians" in the subject line. I only realized it was posted to the mac list when I saw this message.
To the girl that posted, there are a couple e mail lists you can search for online using google etc. they would be good places to post future questions. One is blind musicians and the other is the nfb music link list. the blind musicians list has a lot more traffic and I believe it's hosted by yahoo groups if that helps.

Then, users can filter and either reject all the #oT posts which keeps them from be bothered by the content and folks interested can read them. It's a pretty creative solution to the off topic problem.

I say all of this because as you might have guessed I have calluses on my left hand and can read just fine. My left hand is now more sensitive than my right. I like the idea of the oil on your hands. SOmeone said it was an old fiddler's trick. I never thought of that. But fear not, as long as you keep up your braille reading skills you should be just fine. Happy playing!
