Eddie Adcock his banjo during his brain surgery whilst he's... still awake... which i suppose you imagined to be true as playing the banjo when you're asleep must be pretty hard.

Maybe his insurance ran out and he's performing to pay for them to finish.

He needed the surgery because he had a mild case of Parkinson's disease. They wanted to get rid of his pin rolling tremors. That is why he had the banjo, so they could figure out when the electrodes were planted/sending the right amount of current to fix the tremors. Pretty interesting if you ask me! We learnt about him in the cognitive neuroscience class I am in! Crazy what they can do these days..

He could, he was a a very good banjo player, but he got a mild case of Parkinson's disease which caused him to not be able to paly very well and that is what they are fixing in the video, getting rid of his tremors from electrode stimulation :)
