Hear saxophonist Kevin Brown's Story On "NPR"
Saxophonist Kevin Brown recently had the pleasure of doing an interview
with Dick Gordan from "NPR", National Public Radio.
To hear this compelling, and inspiring interview in it's entirety, Click below.
Saxophonist Kevin Brown travels the world playing jazz. And as for many people, music has been Kevin's companion through the ups and downs of his life.
Kevin was born totally blind, but doctors restored some of his vision when he was 6. He fully used his partial site - even playing football as a kid and teaching himself to play the saxophone. But the day he was hit by a car, Kevin realized the limits of his eye sight. Soon after that, he began to focus more on music.
Kevin talks with Dick Gordon about how jazz revived him when he needed it the most: Kevin lost his eyesight permanently at age 35.

What an amazing, soulful, wonderful, emotional, sweatheart of a guy he is. I am going to the music store after work to buy all the music he has made. You have a way of interviewing that seems to make all the "shyness" (for lack of a better term) of your subjects just melt away. You get into Very personal feelings with these people sometimes. This is my favorite story so far and I listen to you almost every day... Thanks to you and Thanks to Kevin for sharing his amazing and enveloping life story.... and thanks too, to Kevin for playing his music, I am sure it has prompted many people to go on and let go of what was holding them back. What a guy....thanks for introducing him to me..... Always, Julie

I Once Was Blind, But Now Can See!
I Once Was Blind, But Now Can See!
Veretekk Now Accessible To The Visually Impaired...
As part of an ongoing corporate initiative, we have completed adjustments to all of the Portal Control Panels (PCPs) so that they are all compatible with
screen reader software used by the visually impaired to read websites. This is an important milestone for Veretekk as it keeps us on target with our mission
to provide unparalleled marketing tools to people from all walks of life. You may be surprised to know that Veretekk has a lot of blind subscribers. These
improvements make the system even more accessible to all of them.
So if your vision is fine, what does all of this mean to you? A lot, actually. These improvements just opened up a whole new market segment for you to market
to! Veretekk, the only system of it's kind, is now totally accessible to the blind. You can capitalize on this by marketing to the blind and growing your
downline!
"Thanks!... Thanks!... Thanks!... Yessss! Wowsee Wow!... Thanks Tom, and Mike for fixing the drop down menus in the portal control panels so that blind
people are able to configure their portals. It works perfectly... Just great! Now that I have found this new accessible part of the Veretekk system, I
am getting used to using the functions. It's a most of the time, difficult task dealing with blindness, or any major handicap for that matter. I think
it's an even harder task trying to use the computer, and the internet... let alone trying to make a little money, or run any kind of business on the internet.
Most people don't realize what handicapped people go through, and in my case, totally blind people, trying to use their computers, and the internet. When
I found Veretekk, I was blown away with the awesomeness of this powerful program. I thought, "Wow... I finally found something that a blind person can
use to market on the internet, and it really works! When I ran into the ever present snag for blind people... links, and dropdown menus that just don't
show up in the screen readers interface (software that allows blind people to read websites, and computer programs) I was Sooo discouraged! So... I sent
Tom, Veretekk's CEO, some info about the problems that blind people go through when surfing the internet, and trying to interact with websites. I was totally
shocked when he actually said that he would do something about the problem! Not only that!... He actually called me! Where can you find that kind of support?...
A Call From The CEO of the company! Veretekk is totally awesome... It really works... and It is very affordable! The round the clock live training is top
notch! What's even better... They tell you the whole truth about internet marketing... It takes time to be successful. Thanks Tom!... Thanks Mike!... You
don't know just how much I appreciate your efforts. Veretekk is pure marketing Awesomeness!"

What's it like being blind?: The Great Wall of Darkness!
Well, here I am.
Inside this wall of darkness.
Just how long have I been here?
Days, weeks, months, or has it been all of my life thus far?
I really dont know.
All I know is that I sit here, here inside this wall of darkness.
It seems so thick, it seems as solid as granit, It seems so infinite.
This wall of darkness that surrounds me so completely.
Oh, I can hear all of the sounds, all of the sounds that are outside.
All outside this thick wall of darkness.
I can hear all of the life, all of that wonderful life.
But they dont know that I am here.
They dont know that I am inside this thick wall of darkness.
For no one can see inside, none can penitrate this wall.
none can see inside this wall which has so completely encompassed me.
But I can hear them.
And I just sit and listen.
I listen to all of that wonderful life out there.
There must be light out there.
There must be sunshine out there.
There must be, because I can smell it, I can taste it, I can feel it.
It heats my wall from the outside, It's as though it can almost penitrate this great wall of darkness.
But alas, it does not penitrate it.
It is just a hope, and then it is gone.
Just as the sun leaves the flower, and the flower eventually withers.
I am inside this wall of darkness, and my soul is withering.
Yes, I try to fight it, but this great wall, this darkness, this blindness is just so strong.
It is so persistent, it is so infinite.
But me! I am finite, my strength needs to be replenished.
Where can I find the means, the replenishment, where can I find the hope, the desire.
Where can I find the patients.
Do I exist? Or, is this just a dream?
Is this wall of darkness real?
Or is this some long, long day dream?
I open my eyes, and the darkness is still there.
The wall is still there.
The light is still on the outside, I can hear it.
The sounds are still on the outside, I can hear them.
The life is still on the outside, I can almost taste it.
And so, I sit here.
I sit here inside this great wall of darkness.
Is this my prison, or just my allotment.
I sit here inside this wall, I sit here inside this great wall of darkness.
