[Athen] MAC accessibility for music

[Jeffrey Dell]

Hi Robert
This topic came up this summer.  Since then I heard of a blind guy
that does song parodies for the Stern show.  He goes by Psych.  His
website is http://www.psychmusic.com/contact.html
In an interview he said that he uses ProTools with VoiceOver on Mac.
He also does some work for a radio show produced by Shadow Stevens.
Even though his work is mostly explicit song parodies it is pretty
high quality.  He would be a good source to try to contact for some
pointers.
