[musictlk] Young Musicians and Other Comments

[Elizabeth Slaughter]

Hi,
I attempted to find the survey, but the online address provided did not
take me to the survey, or there is a typo and this is why I am unable to
find the survey.

Please clarify the survey, with the exact internet address.

When I was first Vice President of the NFB Music Division, I knew
several people who were blind that could have used your survey
information which I was not able to access when I tried your link
yesterday.  Unfortunately, because I, as then First Vice President of
the NFB Music Division  met with musicians new to the group who had
these kind of progressive ideas, and the President of the NFB Music
Division was not notified of this meeting we had, (and we were going to
mention the things that concerned us at the time to her) after the
meeting, the NFB Board felt that we were divisive and trouble-makers.  I
bowed out and told them publicly that if they felt I was this, that they
had too much time on their hands.  That was then and this is now.

I would like to call your attention to Michelle Gittens of Minneapolis,
Minnesota as a candidate for a possible NFB super-star.  Though I do not
know her well, as I live 150 miles from Minneapolis now, I have heard
her perform with her band.  She also was a 2008 NFB Scholarship winner
and performed on July 4, 2008 at the NFB national convention.

She and her band have a song that they do about a Crock-Pot which is
really wonderful.

As for me, I have stayed in music ministry and have not only a CD of my
own out but a book as well.  I am not a young person, however, so I
wanted to recommend the best young blind person I could for your e-mail
with the survey site recommended.  Thank you and best regards to you
all.
