April Webinar - WebSocial

During our April 17 webinar, "Parkinson's Awareness Month: A
Story of Empowerment Through Music," Martha and Company
discussed their new song about living with Parkinson's,
"Slow Emotion." The song was co-written by Martha Johnson &
Mark Gane (co-founders of Martha and the Muffins) and
musician/songwriter Fabio Dwyer. Both Martha and Fabio have
Parkinson's disease. The idea for the song was first suggested by
their neurologist, Dr. Alfonso Fasano - who also plays
keyboards on the song - as a means to raise awareness of the
disease and to show that life and creativity don't end with a
diagnosis.  

They and the song's backing vocalists - all of whom have
Parkinson's - provided unique insights into their Parkinson's
journeys, their creative process, and the dual impact of living with
Parkinson's and working together to record the song. We also
played the song along with the lyrics. The single as well as a short
documentary on the making of the song by Toronto filmmaker Jason
Cipparrone was released on all platforms on April 11, 2024, World
Parkinson's Day.
