weird how some people don’t question the things that are obvious to us. The things we see‚ how do we see it? What makes it visible to us? Is it only because we have eyes‚ or is there another factor. The great Aristotle explained it by having something in our eyes that emits “something” to an object and that’s why things are visible to us. Another question we could ask from our daily life is that how come we can hear? What is it that we hear? Why do we hear it and deaf people don’t? How do we receive

Sound Recording Rod has always had a niche for music and states that he grew up in “polka country.” In fact‚ his parents were both very musically inclined.

He remembers going to big band dances where music from the famous American trombonist‚ Tommy Dorsey‚ filled the room. It wasn’t until his early teenage years
