Just so there aren't internal vigilantes.

Thanks, Curtis. As federation members know we got a little bit of a late start promoting this event. So anything you can do to sell tickets? thank you. I'm going to post another YouTube clip for your enjoyment. We are proud to be one of the stops on the Haymakers Colorado swing. They play our benefit on Thursday evening July 25 at EPIC Campus in Littleton. Doors open at 6 and show at 7. It’s a family-friendly no alcohol show.

They play in Boulder on Friday night.

They headline the Flower Fest in Colorado Springs early Saturday evening at Venetucci Farm. (do you know the connection between Venetucci Farm and the National Federation of the Blind?)

The gentleman who plays stand-up base and mandolin will thrill you with their sweet backing harmonies and extraordinary musicianship. Dustin Arbuckle is in demand. As a virtuoso harmonica player. In addition to Haymakers Dustin has a number of projects on which he works. Our own Tom Page who serves as a member of our National Board of Directors and state president of our Kansas affiliate is an exceptional singer, songwriter, and guitar picker. Tom is also known as an activist taking the lead to reform services for the blind in Kansas and the sheltered workshop system nationally. Living in Wichita for many years Tom has often been a lone voice for reform at the local Invision National Industries for the Blind Affiliate. He lives one of Bob Dylan's favorite sayings. “The price of freedom is internal vigilance”.

Last year the band released 2 fine albums. Both of which received attention from Americana Press and some radio play. Their album of tribute songs to Hank Williams on the 100th anniversary of his birth delighted Hanks fans.

Some of you may have seen Haymakers when they played our national convention last year in Houston Texas. They brought down the house. The National Federation of the Blind of Colorado is thrilled to present Haymakers for this benefit show.
