Indianapolis, late one winter night, George Hebble, a blind musician aged about 50, left a streetcar and wandered lost in deep snow three blocks from his home at 303 N Cayuga. He used echo and careful counting to locate a fence and his house, navigating the streets unaided by sight. He knows Indianapolis well, guiding strangers to streets and landmarks, and reads music by ear after hearing it once.
