Hearing Music For the First Time, from Jeff Watson
September 11, 2012 |
Here's a magnificent article about a 23 year old who was profoundly deaf, being able through the advances of free market technology, to hear music, to decipher music, for the first time.
What playlist of 10-20 songs, groups, orchestras, symphonies, etc would you recommend to a 25 year old who's never listened to music?
In fact, what would you recommend for the very first song a person coming out of the shroud of deafness should listen to?
