I am a disabled musician
And that about covers it !
Well it doesn't really, i just don't want to waffle on about all my aches and pains or musical and artistic abilities, or write some inane quotation, or make out i'm something i'm not, or make more of myself than i am < eek, that was confusing>
Anyways, yes.. there are people out there in the world who sit in wheelchairs full time and aren't mental "cripples" and aren't making a 'political' point, there are those of us, who just want to merge into the greater scheme of life and be looked upon with non discriminatory eyes...
I've been singing since i was 3, and a street entertainer for 23 years, i have ecclectic tastes in music, but i chose to sing only songs which i am 99% sure my voice is suited to, my guitar playing isn't up to much, nor is my accordeon playing, but they adequately accompany me when the need arises here i am, mostly confined to my home, studying and trying very hard to practice dharma, trying very hard to live a good and productive and non destructive life in the sincere hope that when i pass from this life to my next i'll get a better human re-birth and not return as a slug to be trampled on ! Lots of big smiles and love to everyone Ivonice x
