Plasticity is weird man. Just curious, was your stroke more on the right side of your brain? (Left sided motor deficits). That side is believed to be more responsible for processing music/sound.

It is in my cerebellum, which is why it has affected so much of my core automation. I can take the information in, but my brain doesn't process it unless I force it.

Here is some old science for you, so I'm not sure how valid it is (wild claims are always made).
It suggests a connection from the cerebellum to the parietal lobe and states that this regards processing of pitch. Maybe there's gross function there, but some of these sub processes being inhibited don't allow for "fine" function. It'd be interesting to see if this grasp of pitch could be linked to imaginative thinking while listening to music.
