Today marks the 185th birthday of the famous Czech composer Bedrich Smetana. (one of Jessica's personal favorites)
Did you know that he was deaf and suffered from a terrible case of Tinnitus? He described the annoying ringing in his ears as "the shrill whistle of a first inversion chord of A-Flat in the highest register of the piccolo." (according to Wikipedia)
