well tom there are people on here, people like liam and raul and maybe others that play consoles. I have tried with sight but if you asked me to verse each in a battle well match em I couldn't. they are a class over me.
>Hi Orin, >Yeah, its called a double standard. On one hand blind people are seen >as somehow super human if we can play a piano, play games, or anything >else a sighted person can do. On the other hand we are totally >helpless barely able to go to the bath room ourselves. Instead of >placing us in the middle of those extremes we are seen with both awe >and pitty as we are both super human and helpless in the public eye. >I'm a musician myself, but I'm certainly no professional at it. >However, any time I play my guitar, keyboard, etc people instantly ask >why don't I play my guitar like Jeff Healie. Jeff Healie is an >exceptional blind guitarist, from Canida, who has invented all of his >own chording, and plays the guitar in a way that is completely >unusual. It is cool, to be sure, but suddenly if one blind guy does it >that way suddenly all blind people have to play the guitar that way, >or so some sighted guitarists think. What they fail tosee Jeff Healie >intentionally rose to super star status because he wanted to do things >no one else tried before like drinking a cglass of water while playing >the lead guitar for the song "I See the Light" and crazy stuff like >that. that kind of showing off only adds to the super human legend >which isn't at all close to the truth. >Then, we have those few blind people who act like they are totally >helpless, and add to the blind people are helpless legend. I've seen >that happen more than once during my life time, and at those times I'd >like to crawl under a rock.
