tinman - your story goes a long way towards explaining the hat you are wearing in your Avatar.
You should be glad you can still HEAR music, let alone appreciate it.
BigWill - quick story. My Dad was a Master Sgt. in WWII and was on an island called Tinian. I'm watching JAWS with him several years back. We watch the scene where Quint and Richard Dreyfus compare scars and Quint tells about the Indianapolis going down. Dad has never said much WWII up to that point. He casually says, "I remember watching the Indianapolis depart and someone told us later that it sunk."
Long story short, the Indy took Fat Man & Little Boy (Hiroshima & Nagasaki A-bombs) to Tinian. Super top secret, that's why it took so long to go after the survivors. Anyhow, Dad went on to explain that his squad of MPs supervised the unloading of the bombs. I thought that was pretty neat.
