[Menvi-discuss] How To Determine Whole And Sixteenth Notes/Rests In Braille Music

Wed Sep 5 17:38:29 EDT 2012

Thanks and the reason why I don't have much music is because I barely 
have shelf spacing for it, all of it is my NKJV Bible...and on top of it 
all, my room is kind of a storage room since I got back home from 
college in 2007, so not all the space is imine...but am dreaming it will 
be someday, and I have a dead braille display. See my dilemma now? Try 
to come up with the money to replace a dead braille display, lol no 
thanks can't do it...and am hackling with rehab right now as far as 
getting a great start in my IPE. I really don't wish to talk about that 
right now because it causes me no end of stress.
Going to play my horn now.
