{SPEAKER name="Jo Radner"}
Thank you very much! I think it would be a good idea for me to stop now for a minute and ask the audience if there are any questions that they have.
{SILENCE}
[00:18:23]
Remember to ask directly to the participant and not to the interpreter! [[laughs]] Are there are any questions that you'd like to ask at this point? Okay, if you have any questions in the future--
{SPEAKER name="John Ennis"}
No questions? There's no questions?
[00:18:38] [[speaking over each other]]
{SPEAKER name="Jo Radner"}
Try to catch my eye. Isn't very satisfying--
{SPEAKER name="John Ennis"}
Now, don't be afraid!
{SPEAKER name="Jo Radner"}
There's a question over here. Sir?
[00:18:45]
{inaudible question from audience member}
[00:18:55]
{SPEAKER name="William Ennis/John Ennis (interpreter)"}
You know, uhm, Braille? Do you know what Braille-- what Braille is?
[00:19:02]
{SILENCE}
[00:19:10]
You know, it's reading other people's-- using the fingers to read.
[00:19:15]
So, often, often deaf and blind is confused. We have lost our hearing, and we make up through the feeling, the vibrations.
[00:19:27]
That kind of thing. Can I mention about the Indian drums? Am I allowed to--that I can feel them really well when they beat the drums?
[00:19:36]
When they do their drums, boy, I can really feel it. The vibration, because of the sound, I guess, comes under this platform and beats up under it. And if I can--I can really feel it, it feels terrific.
[00:19:49]
Now, Braille is used for feeling with the fingers. I don't know, I think the dots, I guess, it's a dot system. Each dot represents a letter.
[00:20:00]
And, uh, really, today pretty high uh, I dunno. High intensity music, like the disco, and I'm sure, most deaf people can hear or feel it quite a bit, and they really do dance.
