Hear It Loud

Some of you know that I am a fan of CNN's Young People Who Rock blog.  Usually, Nicole Lapin finds some really great stories of people under the age of 30 doing some remarkable things.  A couple of weeks ago, Lapin made us all aware of Sean Forbes, a deaf musician who founded a non-profit called Deaf Performing Artists' Network (D-PAN for short) formed to make music and music culture accessible to the deaf and hard of hearing community by creating deaf-centric interpretations of songs and music videos.  Pretty cool stuff...

Some of you also know that I have a son who is deaf.  Luke will be 4 this May.  He loves music (You should hear him scream into the mic on Wii HS Musical -- its hilarious!) but can't ever frickin' hear it and it kills me when everyone else is singing along in our mini-van on a road trip or whatever and he has no idea what is going on.

Luke wears a hearing aid in his left ear so he can hear some.  However, it is very likely that Luke's hearing is progressively getting worse.  So I am digging Sean Forbes' D-PAN.  You can read the post about Sean HERE and check out D-PAN HERE.

Meet my son Luke.  That is a bowling ball not a gumball.
