 Hey, Ben!

Thanks for the tip.  I've listened to a museum guide and several TV
voice-overs for the Blind.  I've heard about site descriptions of the type
you mentioned,
and I've long wondered what they are like.  It would be great to get some
sample snippets of them, preferably in written form.  This would give me and
other interested people some reference points.  In fact, I wouldn't mind
writing or translating some pictures or visual memories this way and to make
a
special section for blind visitors.  That would be so cool!
Well, Ron, that's not exactly what I'm thinking of. There is a two volume
set called "Indian Soundscapes". It is a gem! It makes me want to go there
and experience those sounds, and it hooked me to this phenomenon. Ok, what I
mean is this:

One track of the first disc is simply bicycles and cars on a busy city
roadway in India. Another is a vegetable market where you hear the vendors.
It sounds like the ballpark vendors here in the US, but as the saying goes,
"ballpark vendors on sterrhoids!" There are tracks at a popular temple in
South India, and two tracks from Kanyakumari, Tamilnadu. If you check out
that set, you'll know what I mean.

Thanks for explaining, Ben.

Aha!  That "sounds" even easier, providing one is at the site and has a
recording gizmo.

So it's without voice-overs, I take it, just "background" sound collages.
