So great! Bobby McFerrin is a vocalist who actually uses his voice as an instrument, mostly without words. He has a fantastic album with cellist Yo-Yo Ma, which is how I first discovered him. He has such a spark in his eye.
And what a thing to discover, that we are all the same...that we can all sing. That song isn't hindered by any other differences.
I was talking with friends the other day, and we each said whether we'd rather be deaf or blind (y'know, if you absolutely HAD to be one yada yada), and I decided that it would have to be blind for me. I just could not bear to be so removed from communication and sound. I actually can't explain the reason...but its a strong feeling.
Not that either are desirable in any way. Man. Kudos to all the deaf and blind people out there, living their lives. That's real strength huh.
