Episode Synopsis

Before my stroke (2014), I used parody to comment/mock the situation in my musical life. So I've been using that to describe my new life with aphasia. The lyrics are "contrafactum" (the substitution of text for another without change to the music) and comment on how I cope with brain damage and aphasia. The irony is that despite having musical anhedonia I'm still a musician!
