Celebrate Blindness.Com!

where sight ain't everything! After all, what good is eyesight if you lack charisma?

This is the Internet home of Shelley Magnussen, a blind musician and artist. Now, the words blind and artist aren't normally found in the same sentence, but Shelley is both. The  words celebrate and  blindness don't normally go together either. Living with a vision impairment can be a blast, if you let it be. This site represents Shelley's ongoing celebration.
