Thanks for the link. I tried posting the pic and it just wouldn’t post. Strange, for a meme site.

And the answer to the question of whether I was serious or sarcastic , as someone who has used microphones quite a bit over the years, is that I was serious. Stevie could hear its position and hear it falling because microphones do emit a subtle sound, and a blind person’s sense of hearing becomes much more acutely developed to help them navigate safely.

As a performing musician, I'm going to have to call bull about whether a performer can hear a low mic buzz while performing the closing chorus of a very loud song like "Hey Jude," or that a blind man could hear it falling over, especially during "Hey Jude."

With tongue firmly in cheek, I have to ask, who should I believe, you or my lying eyes?
