An Insider's Look at the Biggest Trumpet Studio in the U.S., Why There's No Competition At the Top of the Craft, Memories of Gil Johnson and More w/ Professor John Holt

A distinguished longtime board member and pioneer of rehabilitation services at the LightHouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired in San Francisco, there are few denizens of our community more respected and knowledgeable than Gil Johnson. Growing up as a confident, free-thinking young blind man and coming to the LightHouse during a pivotal moment for blindness in the late seventies, Johnson changed the course of our training services and defined the future of the then somewhat fractured LightHouse organization.In honor of Johnson’s 80th birthday, LightHouse CEO Bryan Bashin set out to record an oral history: to capture the nuances of Johnson’s early life, career, and ongoing journey after LightHouse. The result is nearly six hours of humorous, thoughtful reflections on the past, present and future of what it means to be or become blind.The podcast series was recorded on three separate days and is broken into seven total parts below. Mp3s are available for download or to stream directly.Part 1 (recorded November 2017, 2 segments): Gil talks about his childhood, development as a young blind man and the early career moves that brought him to the blindness field.https://lighthouse-sf.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Gil-Johnson-Part-1-Early-Days-1.mp3https://lighthouse-sf.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Gil-Johnson-Part-1-Early-Days-2.mp3 Part 2 (recorded December 2017, 3 segments): Gil discusses the state of LightHouse when he arrived in the late 70s, and goes in depth into the challenges and opportunities as he took on the task of innovating in rehabilitative training through the 1980s.https://lighthouse-sf.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Gil-Johnson-Part-2-The-1970s-and-80s-at-LightHouse-1.mp3https://lighthouse-sf.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Gil-Johnson-Part-2-The-1970s-and-80s-at-LightHouse-2.mp3https://lighthouse-sf.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Gil-Johnson-Part-2-The-1970s-and-80s-at-LightHouse-3.mp3 Part 3 (recorded August 2018): Gil discusses his transition away from LightHouse, taking on services for the blind in Illinois and the new era for the LightHouse and its community as the 1990s approached.https://lighthouse-sf.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Gil-Johnson-Part-3-Into-the-90s-and-Beyond-1.mp3https://lighthouse-sf.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Gil-Johnson-Part-3-Into-the-90s-and-Beyond-2.mp3 The post Oral History: Gil Johnson reflects on eight decades of blindness training, advocacy and community appeared first on LightHouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired.
