Thanks, Laina.  This was an interesting interview ... but it left me with lots of questions!  I would love to know whether Susie read (past tense!) music prior to losing her sight.  I'd also like to know what technique she used to learn the name of the notes.  In any case, it's pretty amazing that she picked up that much in 6 months!
