Welcome to our latest additions to BARD (Braille Audio Reading Download)! This month, we added more popular Bill Brown “Guitar by Ear” titles including “Moon River” and “Nowhere Man.” The braille collection was enriched by Gounod’s “Ave Maria” for mezzo soprano, violin, piano and organ. We also added the libretto to Alan Jay Lerner’s “My Fair Lady.”
