Longtime fan of
Todd Rundgren Julie Dye attended his show in Cleveland on May 6th and
presented Todd with a Braille version of his book “The Individualist”
that Chelsea, her blind daughter, had made by hand.
As the first
leg of the current White Album Tribute tour featuring Todd Rundgren,
Micky Dolenz, Christopher Cross, Joey Molland and Jason Scheff was
ending in Washington, DC on October 20th, Todd thought of presenting the
book to the Library of Congress (specifically the National Library
Service For The Blind And Disabled division).
A presentation at the Librarian of Congress Ceremonial Office was
held the morning of October 21. Todd flew Julie and Chelsea to
Washington to attend the DC concert and the ceremony the following
morning.
The brief
ceremony was held in the Librarian’s Ceremonial Office at the historic
Thomas Jefferson Building of the Library Of Congress on Capitol Hill.
The Library was represented by Karen Keninger, Director of the National
Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled, Jason Yasner, Deputy
Director of the National Library Service for the Blind and Print
Disabled, and Mark Sweeney, Principal Deputy Librarian Of Congress.
The second leg of the White Album Tribute tour resumes on November 30th in Pittsburgh.
