Saying that he can't see the conductor is true, regardless of whether or not it is a detriment to his performance. Did she say it in some mean way? Because just from reading it I didn't think she was diminishing his worth at all.<BR/><BR/>Also, I think that if a performer has skill that is superior to the conductor, he still follows the conductor. Visual cues are very useful for that. Maybe Kyle's aural abilities make up for that and he is just as good at following the conductor, but that might not be the case. I know that other senses can make up for one that is impaired, but I think it can be almost as disrespectful to anyone with a disability to ignore their limitations. I know, I wasn't there and don't know Kyle as well as you, but all I'm saying is give the adult daughter the benefit of the doubt. I don't think she was roasting Kyle, she was just trying to understand what you were saying.T.R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08965354105260055635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20366608.post-1145974534106824732006-04-25T08:15:00.000-06:002006-04-25T08:15:00.000-06:00Only if they offer free throwing asparagus.Spencer...Only if they offer free throwing asparagus.<BR/><BR/>SpencerSpencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13295028114725152342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20366608.post-1145940512099371622006-04-24T22:48:00.000-06:002006-04-24T22:48:00.000-06:00You're so diplomatic, you oughtta be a senator.You're so diplomatic, you oughtta be a senator.FPrincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14519417525065248385noreply@blogger.com
