TO 6th “It‘s raining," she said, with the suddenness of a bomb dropping. Sudden, because it was said during a high point in the conversation. Also, because two TV sets were competing in the background against the suffocating wrap of wallâ€" toâ€"wall music. The one person who heard her stopped what he was doing and leaned toward the door. straining for proof of what she had just said. Sure enough, between the bluegrass and the TV commercials, something like rain could be heard‘ Or was that just the imaginings of someone wanting to be in agreement? The person shouldn‘t have questioned her statement. Because stepping out of the door of the Richmond Inn'a few minutes later, there it was. exploding on the sidewalk in flood-like splashes, as if it had all been dumped from the top of a high building in plastic bags. Just the same, given ‘the environment, only a person with extra sharp senses would have been aware of it. And extra sharp senses are just what Jean Johnson, the lady in question, has in abun- dance. For Jean Johnson is blind. And has been for 23 of her 30 years; 27, if you count when her weakening vision was first discovered. Happy hobby Still, that doesn't stop her from holding a job as a physiotherapist. Nor does it prevent her after work from enjoying her hobby of songstress, accompanying herself on her guitar. “I just had to apply it." As for the singing, she says she likes to do that on a part-time basis. There were no windows in the place either. “All therapists acquire a good sense of touch," she said. “I‘ve been a little more aware that way. “The job’s important, but one needs a hobby on the side. You see people with greenhouses â€" well. the guitar is mine.” One of the places in which she’s occasionally able to indulge that hobby. is the Richmond Inn, where she's staying temporarily. There, when one of the electronic groups has finally taken its cacophony break. she might be prevailed upon to come in and offer a bit of serenity in the form of “Galway Bay," or “Christian Islands,” or whatever some of those in the upstairs rooms might request. “Christian Islands,“ of course, is 8 Gordon Lightfoot song, and anything by Lightfoot is all right with her. “He’s the idol of my life," she says, sitting back in her chair and radiating the kind of smile that fits her ebullient personality, and makes her handicap even less evident. “I have every LP he Augus! 2 - Augusta Periormance Times and Ratesâ€" 1977 Tues thru Thurs 8 30 p m 84 00 pe! person Fn and Sat 9 00 p m 4 50 per person Chttdt'en under 12 yIS accompamed by an adult 51 50 (an performances except Sam/day) ' Students and Senior Citizens ' 50c reduction on an pedoqnances W By Jim Irving FmY mmmwmmu KUI 0/ IN CONCERT ADVANCE TICKETS 33.00 AT THE DOOR S4,00 flies JACKSO‘ 80X 29 ever recorded," she continues. “He’s a real writer." “I know it sounds stupid, but he’s one of the people in this world I‘d like to know.

Cried at concert Then, as if to cap it off, she adds: “I was at his last concert, sitting there with tears in my eyes. “Like an idiot." .‘ Born in Fredricton. it New Brunswick. Jean has been a bit of a nomad most of her life. That the singing teacher was obviously wrong, was shown when she was later offered a part-time job singing in a London pub, “The Nightingale" in Woodgreens, North London. Then she sits back in her chair and reflects a bit on what she has just said. She enrolled in the Halifax school for the blind when she was seven and stayed there till her teens. Married young, she lived in Oshawa for eight years and then went to England when her marriage br_oke up. _ There she studied physiotherapy and exâ€" perienced some of the happiest years of her life, working toward a new career and enjoying the camaraderie of her fellow students, all of them similarily handicapped. She also started to sing again, picking up where she left off 10 years earlier, because a singing teacher told her she should quit. Teacher or no, however, she’d probably never be able to drop it completely, it’s too much a part of her. She loves to sing and when she went home to visit her parents in April, bond. There, with her parents, sisters and cousins â€"- “Mother got out the spoons and I had my guitar" â€" they spent many a happy evening conducting their own family festival. Misses family Now she hopes to get together with her own family of two â€" Angela, 11, and Andrea, 8 â€" and have those happy get togethers much closer to home. Just as they did when they were small. Arid one is suddenly reminded once more that she is blind. Will it always be that way? “There’s no way of knowing what‘s going on “If I hadn't done it then, I wouldn’t be able to do it now," she says.

But the doctors are going to look at it again. And, although they’re not offering hope, they want to see if the retina and the optic nerve are in “reasonably good shape." “So, I thought, why not have a go.” “If they could eliminate the opaque . . . it might be able to perceive some light.
