Hi Bud,

You said, "You have kids that can't read a note of music that are willing and eager to get into music . . ." How true! I mentioned in my post above that I have a disabled son. About two years ago a music program was introduced at my son's Day Center. A young lady brought a KN5000 keyboard and all sorts of percussion instruments (tamborines, bongos, triangles, maracas etc.) and worked with the folks at the Center. That young lady has dedicated herself to teaching the folks how to use the instruments and to play them on the beat. A remarkable achievement! Some of the folks do their best to sing a song. It is so heartwarming to attend one of their periodic music presentations and see what they have achieved. They love playing the instruments and love the music. It is often said that music is an international language and it is. It is also a language the disabled can understand and appreciate. Yes Bud, you are right. Even those who cannot read a note of music can play and enjoy.

Chuck
