Johnny Hiland - Blind Guy Made Chicken Pickin' Good
Hi all,
I've read about Johnny Hiland in guitar magazines. He seemed to be much talked about as an awesome country guitarist.
Read about him again in a online article and realised some inspiring facts about him...
1. He's blind!
2. Musical prodigy
3. Studied to be a teacher but switched to music career later on.
4. Part time motivational speaker
5. Wrote & illustrated a children's book called "Tuff the Special Bear"
6. Released Chickin' Pickin' Volume 1 and Strictly Rhythm DVDs
7. Touring the globe with Johnny Hiland Trio
All these while being handicapped! An awesome testimony of never letting anything put you down... it is in the midst of bad circumstances that we have the opportunity to emerge victorious! :)
Here's a video of him playing his PRS signature guitar. Enjoy! :)
Blessings,

Wow, thanks for the post. Let's never let our amazement of such individuals remain just an amazement - let's really put hands & feet to our amazement and set out to achieve something victorious for ourselves! ;)
Totally agreed my larling! I'm so amazed by the goodness of God and what He can do through us if we just trust in Him and let Him shine through our efforts to make this world a better for all of us! :)
