[musictlk] Information needed - blind musician has question

[NAGDU President]

Robert,

	I just got off the phone with Michael and think we need to help him
get the equipment and training he needs to pursue his dreams. I have a home
recording studio and told him about the techniques and gear I use and, I
think, he can learn to do this, too! I had to cut my chat short because I am
getting ready to do a radio show for a station in Canada but will call him
back when that interview is done. When you have the chance to chat a bit,
would you please give me a call. My contact information is below my
signature.

Fraternally yours,
Marion

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise
expectations because low expectations create barriers between blind  people
and our dreams. You can live the life you want! Blindness is not what holds
you back.

Hi You All

RE: I am passing this Message on from Michael Jones, of Holdrege, Nebraska

 

I am writing for Michael; he has not gotten into computers, yet (not at
all). However, he will if he learns that a blind guy can non-visually
operate recording, mixing, production of music in a home studio. Being able
to have one or more blind musicians tell their story to him on how this is
being done, will motivate him to purchase a computer, learn to use it, and
the software/equipment needed to record and produce his own compositions. 

 

Michael has been singing/playing professionally for about fifty years; a
guitar guy. He lives in a smallish town in western Nebraska, where there
seems to be. no other blind people around!? (You all know how sometimes
within some communities, we all seem to be invisible.) He sings and writes
songs in all styles of music, but not rap. 

 

Would some of you please call and talk to him; a nice guy, I've known him
for years. (He is a blind guy that has taken a long time to lose his vision,
and so is only now opening up to learn non-visual techniques; he needs
information, and encouragement. (We here in the Federation are good at
that!!!)

Here is his phone number- 308-995-5946 

 

Thank you very much. 

 

 

Respectfully yours,

Robert Leslie Newman

(I also live in Nebraska)
