This is another video that I made for Pete Waller aka DeafboyOne. Pete's a singer, songwriter and guitarist. Pete's aim has always been that "one day All Deaf and hard of hearing people will have the same access to and enjoyment of Music as hearing people enjoy today..."
So enjoy it!
This is Pete's story:
"On the 3rd July 1973 I was walking out of assembly at school and class mate came up behind me and slapped both my ears. I collapsed in a heap... the look on his face was sheer horror, but the damage had been done my ear drums had been perforated. That same evening news came through Ziggy Stardust the new music phenomenon of a generation was no more. On this day DeafboyOne was born... (its my Deaf "Sign" name) my life has been an emotional roller coaster ever since. I've now decided to record everything I ever wrote, performed and recorded before I become Profoundly Deaf. I communicate with Words Music and Sign Language... My favourite artists include Bolan, Bowie, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, Michael Hutchence (INXS), Kurt Cobain (Nirvana,) Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger (Rolling Stones), Johnny Rotten (ex Sex Pistols) and Beethoven of course!"

"Ever circling skeletal family..." written by Pete Waller
Deaf culture is a term applied to the social movement that holds deafness to be a difference in human experience rather than a disability. When used in a cultural sense, the word deaf is referred to as Deaf with a capital D.
Deaf communities do not automatically include all those who are clinically or legally deaf, nor do they exclude all hearing people. It is not the extent of hearing loss that defines a member of the Deaf community but the individual's own sense of identity and resultant actions. As with all social groups a person may choose to belong to a particular community if they identify themselves as a member of that community, and other members accept them as a part of that community.
The Deaf community typically includes individuals who communicate via signed languages, individuals who attended schools for the deaf, children of deaf parents, and sign language interpreters. Deaf communities also often possess social and cultural norms.
