No, not KKK / Ku Klux Klan. Not blind. Only a blindfolded horse – to calm down the soul. Some days ago I thought, I maybe could get blind, because there are always lightnings in my left eye. I grabbed my guitar and decided to retire with music – following Ray Charles, Steve Wonder and so many blind guitarists who found a solution vs. the loss of eye-functions. Then I nevertheless went to a doctor, he examined with many machines – and now I know, I’ll be not blind soon. I can continue to write and read … [diagnosis: “Glaskörperabhebung” = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floater]

hi Barb,
I like your little story and the moral:
“Never argue with a woman who reads.
It’s likely she can also think.
At least now she has all the equipment . . .”

I’m always anxious to become blind,
because I enjoy to see so much;
to have a second leg
I learned to play guitar …

So glad your eyes are fine Frizz. I too have lots of floaters and tears in my retina that need periodic attention. Blogging can’t be helping much 🙂 Love your music!

Yes, I just watched it. Fabulous! Thank you for the link. The talent is impressive – the instrument sees no blindness – the talent is “blind to his blindness,” and that is one of the things that makes great music, in my opinion.
