Our Debut PodCas Is Coming Soon!

 

Our Debut Podcast Is Coming Soon!

I am pretty excited about our decision to go forward with the notion of doing our own Music for Sight podcast!  We have the equipment we need, and the desire to do it.  Now, if the equipment will just hold up and our desire just hold out All we will need then is a little luck and you can be taking us with you as you walk away!

It’s the perfect forum for keeping all of our supporters up to date on the latest happening here at Music for Sight as well as being a great way for us to share the music we love with all of y’all, advise you on all sorts of things we have had experience with, like recording and producing music of your own.  Setting up your own web site.  Fixing a hole where the rain gets in.  Building and maintaining a digital music library.  Replacing a part in your PC.  Knowing how and when to turn a pancake over.  All that and more! It will also be a handy way for us to share with you how we “do it in the dark”

 

Check back soon, and often, for updates on the fall podcast schedule. 

 

If you have ideas for content, send me an email at dj@musicforsight.org

Future Guide Dogs

One of these could be guiding you one day!

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.

Press To Play!

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.
