Moderate to severe brain damage.

Weird thing about me: I can't talk while playing piano. This leads to no small bit of frustration when playing the postlude at church on Sunday and someone comes up to speak to me.

However, I have no problem singing and playing. This morning, I hit upon the solution - I'll just sing whatever I want to say to whomever I'm talking to. Kind of a real life operatic recitative.

I can't wait to see sweet little Mrs. Inge's face when she comes to say hi and I belt out "Fiiii-iiiine, and how are yoooo-ooou doing todaaaaaaay?"

Maybe I'll go more with sprechstimme.
