[Menvi-discuss] Remembering Christina Davidson

[Richard Taesch]

List subscribers:

This evening, our webmaster, Jared Rimer, sent this obituary to me. He
asked me if we should put it in our archives.
https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/capitalgazette/name/christina-davidson-obituary?id=35104487

I told him that it is a must, and to add it immediately!

Do read through the link, and if you can, add your own tribute to her.
Following is the one that I posted to the site:
____________________________
"I knew Tina well, and encouraged her desire to pursue music braille.

She asked me if there would be any demand if she got into that field. I
told her: "Tina, do it! You'll have more music work than you can ever
handle." She asked me questions about code, and later I found myself
working with her on the revised BANA music code, and on the transcribers'
handbook. As a career commercial, jazz, and classic guitarist and teacher,
I would usually send braille music guitar transcription work on to her, as
I knew that she was far more current on it than me; even though she
always said that one of my transcriptions was her first guide.

She once told me that she had been a music copyist (before computers), and
even a real press typesetter.

Christina Davidson was nothing less than a "giant" and another "giver" in
this fast growing profession!
