My friend Aaron sometimes plays shaker with the band. He can really groove. He can also dance his heart out. Although Aaron is deaf he loves music . I wish more people could feel music the way he does. He is an advocate for the deaf community. He has given me insight into their special culture. He is very social. On the first Friday of each month at Jillian's on Lake Union there is a get together of deaf people and hearing people who have learned to sign. He says it is awesome. He loves going to concerts and, as in the photo, entertaining friends. He is best friends with his brother Tim. The photo was taken at The Gorge at at Dead Concert. He is a great guy and a good friend. If you are interested in learning sign language or learning more about the deaf culture, you can e-mail Aaron at phishace3@hotmail.com
