Born deaf, she had a chance to "Listen" to steel pan for the first time by feeling the vibrations while I played my new tune, "Sea Breeze."

This is so beautiful.
A born deaf woman, feeling the "pan vibes" by touching a pan when it is being played.
Pan Vibrations!
It is not a myth, it is real, folks!
