Louie Braille Song Fw: comments Fw: For our NFB music archive

We had a great time.  We ended up with a roomful.  Along with our members,
Two families came with kids who are enrolled in IESDB.  We didn't get to
play the song, as the event turned out to be more like an openhouse.

Chris gave a great 10 minute presentation on Louis Braille.

Giving the Braille Candy Bars was surprising to me, as people took one,
pulled off the braille alphabet sheet glued on the back, and proceeded to
study the special braille message in jumbo braille on the front of the bar.
The scene reminded me of a big classroom with people sitting at the tables
doing their work before their pizzas came.

Idaho Pizza's owner was in and out, sending his staff and other patrons who
were interested, and he is going to become a member of our chapter.  One of
the families said they would be coming back and hope to bring someone else
with them as well.

Judy

This could not have been better timed!!

I am bringing it to our braille birthday party celebration tonight at Idaho
Pizza.

We are decorating with signs that say things like:  Stay Literate Learn
Braille.  Crack the code!  Braille: The Waymaker!  If You Can Read, You Can
Lead!  Six Dots For Success.

Those are just a few.

We have a Louis Braille commemorative poster from NBP.

We have a cake that says Braille Is Beautiful in dots, and in print.

We have had a lot of publicity here in the Magic Valley, so will see if the
weather scares anyone away.

Idaho Pizza is offering to participate as well, has put us up on their
reader board, and we will be brailling name tags for anyone who cares to
darken the door of the banquet room.

We also have an activity, Braille Chaos, a wild card game using the braille
alphabet, along with braille alphabet sheets for those who need them, like
Uno, except crazier.

We also have braille slogans on the front of Hershey bars, and accompanied
with braille alphabet cheat sheets so people can crack the code before
enjoying.  These are handed out as thank-yous to staffers and to people
stopping by.

You guys are missing it, but will have to invite you all down again.

Thanks so much for sending this song!

Judy

    Greetings Anna!
This song was played during the NFBNJ launch of the Braille coin in March
2009 and played at our state convention that fall.
In addition, during many of my ThruOurEyes shows that year, we played the
song to highlight Braille and the importance of purchasing the coin.
It was sung by a member of the National Organization of Performing Arts.  I
don't remember his name however, he is from New York and could have been the
president or an officer of the division.
Hope this helps.
Not bad for a senior.
If it is to be recorded again, I would change the part of yea, yea, yea,
yea, yea, yea, to dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot.
Thanks

Good morning Joe,

Do you know anything about the attached song, Louy Louy 100? President
Riccobono thought you might be able to shed some light on its origins.

Thank you,
Anna

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

Make a gift to the National Federation of the Blind and help ensure all
blind Americans live the lives they want.

This came from New Jersey I think. Joe Ruffalo may know the origin.
