Singing the Blues: The Legendary Henry Butler on Art and Ability
The Takeaway talks with legendary bluesman Henry Butler. Butler has been blind since birth but that hasn’t stopped him from playing to packed houses or from taking up a new craft: photography. Also joining the conversation on art and ability is Charlie Washburn, the Executive Director of VSA Arts of Massachusetts, an organization dedicated to including everyone in the arts.
