  Ottawa jazz musician Rob Frayne continues to demonstrate that artistic dreams trump his injuries.
  In 2004, following a car accident in Bells Corners, he suffered a stroke. He spent more than two months in hospital, battling pneumonia, partial paralysis and a left lung that didn’t work. He recovered sufficiently to return to making music, although because he can’t swallow, his ability to play saxophone has been much diminished.
  Still, Frayne is a beacon of creativity and persistence,
