That Makes Classical Music Work, The Ability

I Find Personally That When I Go To A Place Where I Can't Get In, I Feel Hostility From Whatever It Is, A Hotel, A Shop, A Market, A Street Corner Where There Are No Curb Cuts, Because Somebody Forgot To Put Them In, And Where I Have To Go Two Blocks To The Corner To Do It. A Lot Of The Excuses Are, "well, This Is An Old Building." That's My Favorite One. "this Is An Old Building." It's As Though 50 Years Ago, People With Disabilities Did Not Exist. As If The Disabled Are A New Problem. It Has Always Been A Problem.

Sometimes It Is The Artist's Task To Find Out How Much Music You Can Still Make With What You Have Left.

Just Imagine Yourself In A Wheelchair. Go Through The Building. If There's A Place You Can't Go In, It's Not Accessible.

This Machine, The Wheelchair, I Can Go All Over The Place, But You Need A Place Without Stairs To Get In.

Ask Many Of Us Who Are Disabled What We Would Like In Life And You Would Be Surprised How Few Would Say, 'not To Be Disabled.' We Accept Our Limitations.
