I am a HUGE fan of ASL music videos, especially ones that are closed captioned so everyone can enjoy them. Now, the Deaf and Hearing Impaired community can have their own version of Itunes in the form of ASLTUNES. Check out this page and the genius behind this idea, Jade at the link below, and if you can, spread the word and help her and her team out as they work on the app to get this great idea up and running. Follow the link and see what's happening right now with their project:

Perhaps you remember Ann Marie Bryan (Jade) from another important piece of work, her documentary "9/11 10 Years Later - Are They Ready for Deaf People".
Raised on the Southern Oregon Coast, now retired on the Southern Oregon Coast. I was a hard of hearing child who grew up to be a deafened adult. I share and write about deafness, hearing loss and other things I find interesting. I am a 50 something year old woman who could be anyone's mother, grandmother or friend. I've traveled the U.S., and I've lived in Europe. I'm currently residing near the beach with Fabulous Husband and 11 year old son. ~ Joyce Edmiston

Julie, thank you! I moved the "subscribe by email" field up to the right side of this posts. I didn't realize I had buried it so far down the page. Thank you for letting me know. If you are reading on a mobile app, it should appear here below the post.
