A local musician who is getting ready to launch a one-drop track of inspirational, Caribbean vibe style music is in need of a reader to assist with on-screen dialogue boxes that pop up. If you know that a Korg is not a fancy puppy, this is a good opportunity for you to spend time with a local musician who arranges and edits his own music. He thinks about an hour or 2 per week is all he needs for assistance.
