I must make a comment: DO you even know a thing about this blind jazz saxophonist? It does not sound like you do. Ignorance is so sad. He was born pre-mature way back in the time that there was not as much knowledge on how to help someone born premature and is blind all his life, but can see what we can never see and is gifted and has given us the beautiful opportunity to enjoy his musical talents. He also was a teacher as well at the Western Pa School for the blind as was his father Dr. Alton Kloss. Eric is lucky to be alive. He is well known on the Mister Rogers Neighborhood for 30 years, recognized at the White House, on the Today Show, On the Mike Douglas show. He is a good person and so is his wife Candee. He has many health problems and when one does like Eric, it can take all you own to keep up with medical care. Their point is to get back on their feet and then help other forthcoming young musicians make their mark with their beautiful talents like Eric has given us all. You should not be so rude making comments when you do not have all the facts. Your health is everything and I know first hand as I have health issues as well and am financially strained, and I understand their position.
