This weekend, we went to Witness Fest, a festival of Christian music in Quarryville, PA. Unfortunately, when we asked where the Deaf and hard of hearing were seated, they said there were no accommodations. I was unable to even sit near the big speaker at the front of the stage, and there were no interpreters. Here is an example of how it should have been at Witness Festival... Pennsylvania, please take note and step up to the 21st century and be accessible to your deaf and hearing impaired attendees of your music festivals.. Here is interpreter Jennie Batchelder at work at a music festival in Candle Stick Park, San Francisco, CA. I love her interpretation here of Fearless Love by Melissa Etheredge. Sorry, there are no captions... Lyrics are below the video.

When I woke up I was 17
You kissed my lips in a bad bad dream
Showed me things aren't what they appear to be
Called me angel and set me free
You gave me life in the cold cold dark
But you ran away in the mornings spark
Made me think that reality
Is not where I want to be
I am what I am and
I am what I am afraid of
Oh what am I afraid of
I need a fearless love
Don't need to fear the end
If you can't hold me now
You will never hold me again
I want to live my life
Pursuing all my happiness
I want a fearless love
I won't settle for anything less
I've walked my path had worlds collide
I lost my way and I fooled my pride
This lover's ache wouldn't feel so strange
If I could only change
But I am what I am and
I am what I am afraid of
So what am I afraid of
I need a fearless love
Don't need to fear the end
If you can't hold me now
You will never hold me again
I want to live my life
Pursuing all my happiness
I want a fearless love
I won't settle for anything less
Now I'm not here to lay the blame
I understand when you hold a flame
Heads will shake heads will turn
And sometimes you just get burned
