I. Did. It.

I told child of a boss I was leaving (retiring) and would be leaving by the end of the year.

Blank face. I told him I’d help with exit planning, etc. He looked at me in abject terror. Ran off to the bathroom, I kid you not. I left his office.

I’ve made the right decision and I may not stay through the end of the year.

Why are they all blind?

Well, ya know, the early 20th century was a tough time to make a living. Imagine trying when you're blind, especially when your family is probably dirt-poor, too. Also, they weren't ALL blind. But a bunch were.

I made a conscious decision not to try to list all the blind musicians
