No no. It's not what he is viewing. There is something else happening, something most of us take for granted.

No, a (fairly) famous historical photo.

Not the Milky Bar Kid. The shot was taken in Peoria, Illinois.

Looking at boys' eyes in 'vintage Peoria' only gets me stuff like this:

You nailed it Jim, well done.



I consider making and listening to music one of the most important things in my life. This photo, like all those videos on youtube showing deaf people trying out their implanted hearing aid for the first time, hearing their partner's / kid's voices for the first time, listening to music for the first time in their life, always shakes my emotions. Take a look at Harold's face. Try to imagine what is going on in his mind in this very moment.

Over to Mr. Buna
