[musictlk] Something that I noticed on Youtube

[Joshua Lester]

Great suggestion, and that's what I've been doing.
Blessings, Joshua

My suggestion is that we promote ourselves as musicians who are blind
instead of blind musicians.

The reason I posted this on the list, is because this raises the question.
What can we, as blind musicians do, to insure that our musical abilities are
what's being marketed, instead of "Well, I'm going to get this artist,
because he's blind?"
What can we do about it?
Thanks, Joshua

I was listening to some Gospel music on Youtube, when I noticed this video.
It says, "Blind guitar player playing "Just a Closer Walk with Thee."
They didn't even mention his name, but they made a big deal out of his
blindness!
I wish people would view us as everyone else, and not make blindness such a
big deal!
Good grief!
What say you?
Thanks, Joshua
