Seems like something from "Brain Salad Surgery" would have been appropriate: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/jan/22/florida-man-play-guitar-brain-surgery

A video report from CNN:  https://www.cnn.com/videos/us/2024/01/23/man-plays-guitar-during-brain-surgery-tumor-affil-cprog-vpx.wsvn

Amazing stuff.    I can't imagine playing and having to keep my head still!   Now I'm wondering how they sterilized that Tele!

I believe I have heard of surgery similar to this as they need to make sure they’re not just making a mess by disconnecting part of the brain.

if it was me, I wouldn’t know how to play that many songs 🫣

I know of a local violinist who played during brain surgery, and I've also heard of a flutist doing the same. It's pretty amazing! Scary, but amazing. It helps the surgeons to know exactly where to work, and at the same time, avoid doing damage in another area of the brain.
