[nfb-talk] Idea for Inspirational NFB Song

[Judy Jones]

Well, I have to add something to this.  

I am a longtime NFB member, 64 years old, and would never listen to
Metallica myself, but I went on Youtube and found the song.

There is a definite melody line, and who says we just have to stick to
children's songs and hymn melodies.

I, for one, love all the old hymns, and yes, children's songs are familiar,
but we have to embrace change, folks.  A new generation of leaders is
coming, and we need to recognize change as long as that change does not do
away with the NFB basic philosophy.  If we are going to grow, we need to
adapt.  I say to Kelly, try to promote it.  We shouldn't shoot the idea
down.

Also, note about children's songs.  It's been so long that my kids were
children, I'm sure I'm not up on the contemporary children's songs either.
Remember that oldies like I've Been Working On The Railroad, Amazing Grace,
and London Bridges Falling Down were contemporary songs in their day.  It's
all in the perspective and the big picture.

Judy

Hi,

It won't fly if it sounds new or rocks.
For some reason the songs that are preferred are based on childrens songs.

Hello, everyone!

While at the convention I had an idea for an awesome new song that could be
played at future conventions. It is a rewrite of the song "The Unforgiven 2"
by Metallica; it is called "Just Like You". I spent some time figuring out
the lyrics, but I think it is ready now. To whom should I send it? Who would
have the resources to contact Metallica and get the ability to produce this
awesome song?

Here are a couple of my favorite verses as an example:

Walk beside us

We are just like you

There's no need to step aside

Our canes will see us through

We have our guide dogs

They're steadfast and they're true

We can learn all the skills we need
We will not stop till we succeed

----------

We are blind

We are proud

We can do it

You'll be wowed

Didn't you know

By our eyes we're not defined

Yeah


Sincerely,
