It sure didn't take long
for the Parrotheads in and around L.A., East L.A. that is, to make themselves known to this author! A couple of them, who wish
to remain anonymous at this time, have agreed to put together a few pages for Music for Sight on the inside scoop and latest
bizarre happenings of the local chapter of Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band fans, The East L. A. ParrotHead Society
known among locals as elaphs, pronounced E Laphs and share some of their favorite songs anc concert memories. It promises to be interesting,
so watch for links coming soon! |

Seeing the world through Lucky Eyes while doing the Labrador Shuffle
sums up in a vague sort of way what Music for Sight is all about and how music can create visual imagery in the mind of
the visually impaired. There is more to it than that though. There is the big issue of successfully dealing with
the psychological challenge of getting along in a world that takes for granted everyone possesses all five of the senses we
were all meant to have. Here we focus on sight loss. And we focus on what it takes to get along in the world without
sight. It isn’t easy, but it is done every day by men, women and children from all walks of life.
There's a good deal of opportunity for the blind and visually
impaired to find assistance with getting along in the world. One of those is the amazing gift of a guide dog.
And so we'll focus a lot on that.
We will also bring you news on technology, world events,
weather, sports and politics.
Stop by often, and tell your friends about Music for Sight!
Say What You what you Wanna Say…
I would like to invite you to offer your thoughts and opinion on any of the topics discussed here. It’s a public place, so of course we want to keep it classy, except for maybe the upcoming elaphs pages, which may get a little trashy, other than that though, say what you mean and mean what you say. Others want to hear what you have to say, and so do I, and here’s yet another place to let your voice be heard.

Want to hear what's going on in our heads
while we are walking down the road? Just click below where you hear or see Press to Play. This a link for the full unabridged version of The Labrador Shuffle recorded at 320kbps in mp3 format for best possible audio quality. The file is tls.mp3 and is about 8.6MB in size. It should only take a few seconds to download if you have a DSL or cable connection. orA a few minutes for a dial up. connection.Were it not for the absolutely fabulous gift of a guide dog I would probably not have been walking so boldly down Central Avenue the day this picture was taken. And if I had been taking the walk anyway, I would either have been hanging on to someone, or tapping my way along with the trusty old white cane. Not that there is anything wrong with that. It's just the feeling of freedom I got when I learn to put my trust in a dog like Lucky.
It is such a powerful feeling, I just have to share it
with the world. And so, once again, Welcome to Music for Sight!
Mission Statement
Everybody’s On A Mission
Well I'm a man on a mission
I'm gonna learn to walk a dog.
I got tired of life's competitions
Walking around in a constant fog.
Now don't get me wrong
Your help was truly divine
Just somehow it seems
my rythym is a little out of time.
Now, I'm a man on a mission
Gonna learn to walk a dog.
