I gotta make recording easier for myself, especially with my spoons these days. Most days #fibro wears me out before I can get started.
As much as I love capturing guitar and voice at once, I think I gotta start doing more overdubbing of the two separately, and I'm struggling against the shame of doing so as a folkie. I'm sure I'll get over it.
Fellow #DisabledMusicians, please drop your tips for music-making.

With the belief that enough time remains to add one more to the list, and one blind musician at that –
Blind Willie McTell, "Stateboro Blues" (1928)
Blind Willie McTell lost his eyesight in childhood, and learned to read music in Braille. His composition "Stateboro Blues" was covered by Taj Mahal in 1968, and by the Allman Brothers Band live in 1971.
He wasn't disabled, just highly talented …
(2/2) The evergreen Stevie Wonder "Superstition"
(1/2) Swift pair of tunes for Tuesday... Blind Boys of Alabama "Higher Ground"
Evelyn Glennie.. On YT.

Moulty - The Barbarians
The lyrics refer to drummer Victor "Moulty" Moulton's loss of his left hand, and the feelings of estrangement that followed.

#DisabledMusicians
The profoundly deaf singer immortalised for GenX by Dexy's Midnight Runners...
🎶 Poor old Johnnie Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
Moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried
Sang along, who'd blame them? 🎶
Cry - Johnnie Ray (1951)

Robert Wyatt - Shipbuilding
Wyatt is a paraplegic following an accidental fall from a window in 1973.

Django Reinhardt, who was badly burned in a caravan fire in 1928, leaving two fingers of his left hand barely usable. He was in hospital for 18 months, and the doctors said he would never play guitar again...
J'attendrai - Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli (1945)
