First off thank you for allowing your story to work for public awareness. Awesome and totally courageous. Your a Bad-Ass.
In your videos it is clear that you have had a rich and full life, which you must let into your music. During the shots of you pre-injury vs. post, you seem to have a different clarity, or gratefulness, or grace perhaps. It seems that your perspective concerning your place in the world has shifted. I don't presume to know your life and passions, though speaking on awareness and public education regarding trauma to the brain would obviously not carry the same experience for you pre-injury.
I have two questions.
Seeing that music was a great part of your life all the way from C.A.....and that music has saved a life that you are now taking in a new direction, how will music play a role?
Does music mean something new to you know?
Okay so three...I am a music teacher and have worked with several students with trauma to the brain. Music is processed through our language centers in addition to many other things. Broca's area is highly active in speech as well as in music.
Did you notice any correlation between re-learning music and re-learning to control your speech?
I also posit that due to your extensive musical background, the language and motor control centers of your brain have been abnormally developed for quite a long time. Such types of development in the body preclude a greater ability to heal oneself. I believe that music may have made you the 10%
