I’m
the Lucky One!
As I was leaving Southeastern Guide Dog School
following graduation, someone asked me my new guides name. “Well”,
I replied, “his name is Lucky, but I’m going to swap names with him and start calling him Don, because I’m
the lucky one”!
Within a couple years of graduation, we had
finished recording two songs to be used as a fund raiser for the Lake Alfred Lions club foundation and Music for Sight. The guys in the band and members of the Lions club were
discussing possible names for the CD and while The Labrador Shuffle Project was a front runner
with many of the folks involved, I thought of that day leaving SEGDI after graduation and spoke those words again… The rest, as they say, is history!

Everybody’s On A Mission
Well I'm a man on a mission
I'm gonna learn to walk a dog.
I got tired of life's competitions
Walking around in
a constant fog.
Now don't get me wrong
Your help was truly divine
Just somehow it seems
my rythym is a little
out of time.
Now, I'm a man on a mission
Gonna learn to walk a dog.
Want to hear what's going on in our head?
When that picture of me and Lucky walking down Central Avenue in Winter Haven was taken The Even Keel Band was
finishing up final takes on a song inspired by our trainer at southeastern Guide dog School.
Just click below where you hear or see Press to Play. This a link for the full unabridged version of The Labrador
Shuffle. The file is tls.mp3 and is about 8.46MB in size. It should only
take a few seconds to download if you have a DSL or cable connection. Or A few minutes for a dial up. connection.
Press To Play!
Were it not for the absolutely fabulous gift of a guide dog I would probably
not have been walking so boldly down Central Avenue the day this picture was taken. And if I
had been taking the walk anyway, I would either have been hanging on to someone, or tapping my way along with the trusty old
white cane. Not that there is anything wrong with that. It's just the feeling of freedom I got when I learn to
put my trust in a dog like Lucky. It is such a powerful feeling, I just have to share it with the world. And so, once
again, Welcome to Music for Sight!
