This is so funny I just can't stop laughing. As a handicapped folk musician (I am nearly deaf) I work hard to make folk music accessible to everybody. I even worked up a banjo tab format that works with a screen reader at the request of one of my banjo students - and converted my books and workshops to that format. http://tangiersound.wordpress.com/braille-friendly-banjo-tab/ All Sing Out! has to do is offer the magazine in a plain text format or make copies of the printed magazine available to folkies willing to read the text aloud. I don't got the problem . . . maybe Mark Moss will explain himself. Oh, and .PDF is not accessible. You can use tags to make it sorta-kinda work, but it is not an acceptable solution to the problem. The fact that Mark would try to tout that makes me wonder about his qualifications and motivations. -Patrick
