hi Steve, a voice from your past...I'm not sure you will remember me? you recently appeared on my radar because you met my friends Terry and Bernie in NYC on the street when they were doing interviews for their end of life documentary. They were thrilled to meet you and told me all about you but never mentioned your name. it wasn't until Terry and Bernie were sitting in our kitchen showing my husband and I clips from the documentarty that I realized I knew you! its a small world. The last time i saw you was at Sutter Memorial where my friend Daisy had a cardiac Cath. She created a little excitement when she straight lined for a bit. I am still living in Placerville. my husband and i loved your music and plan to buy your CD. You certainly are up to some very important work from the sounds of it. I hope our paths will cross again some day. Great to be in touch. all the best,

I want to tell how impressed I am with your album Awake. You sent a copy to Mike after we met you and your bride on the streets of New
York. Your songs have touched on so many issues that our film is trying
to raise. You have a great gift of writing from the heart. Thank you for sharing. I’ve been carrying your songs in me for weeks now.
The documentary is taking shape. The street scenes in NY will be the
opening. I’m stringing together multiple interviews that include a wide range of races and backgrounds, but they all share a common theme: please let me die at home surrounded by my loved ones.
I’m hoping to gain permission to use your music - I’d love to use
“Farewell” as our opening. It’s the perfect bookend to the people we
talked to about their desire to end their lives in the place they call
home with the people they love.

What a delight to listen to what you've created! I'm not usually a
fan of country music (partly because the lyrics are often same-old), but your work has got me hooked!! I almost have every song committed to memory and find myself singing them unconsciously. These songs are full to the brim with the stuff of life—especially mid-to late chapters of life. I went to your website and purchased a couple more as I can readily think of people who would appreciate what you have put out into the world.
You've created something that is a "safe" venue for people to begin
dismantling the cultural taboo on end-of-life issues.
Thank You!!

Dear Steve, Thank You for this warm, very witty, heartfelt, moving, tragic, comical music and poetical work. There is a satirical sub-theme that squarely faces our finitude while leaving one with a feeling of joyful reconciliation to life's most difficult passage.

Great heart, great muscianship, great arrangements. Tons of kudos. Now I'm inspired to do the same, from my viewpoint. If I do it, and if my effort is fractionally as good, I'll be happy :)

Read the article in American Nurse Today and had to check out your site. GREAT WORK! Your musical expressions put our nursing experiences into words so beautifully - our journeys with our patients and families that touch us forever.....THANKS!

Just read the article about Steve in "The Ameriacn Nurse"and listened to excerpts of 3 songs. They really hit the nail on the head reqarding healthcare and nursing. I use music as an outlet by singing in the church choir.

Steve Price's "Awake" is Bob Dylan, Arlo Guthrie and Burl Ives coming face-to-face with the paradoxes of the modern health care world. His lyrics are insightful, passionate, full of wisdom and heart. If you have any interest at all in medicine, health care, patients, death, dying, aging, life, hope, love, then you must listen to this CD. He is a new clarion voice that must be heard. I can only hope that he keeps writing, composing and singing about a full range of life's issues.

I saw your article in American Nurse so I went to your website. I ordered the CD (haven't gotten it yet). I am not very computer savvy so have had to ask my son how to do this or that. I am a hospice nurse also, home hospice, in Michigan

I'm new to your music but the short clips that are available on this site are wonderful and share a couple of the often frustrating problems seen in healthcare today. Thank you for sharing your heart through your love of music and your patients. This in my mind makes you very special.

I loved the concept that we are more than our rapidly disappearing body parts as we age. To ‘redefine ourselves’ because ‘nothing ever stays the same’ is a wonderful thought. I actually thought that you had an undertone of humor running through the song that got the message across really well; ’the nature of man, the good and the bad, God's perfection, our imperfection, and our own reflection, all in the service’ to the patient. What a beautiful way to see your service. Your songs didn't make be cry or sad, because they were done with respect and dignity. There was a wonderful recognition of the choices we have, and the beauty you see day to day. I loved your CD.

"Steve's CD was so uplifting. He takes some of the most serious subjects facing Baby Boomers today and magically transforms them with his wonderful sense of humor and song. I just bought two CDs for friends who I know will love the message that aging, loss, and even loss of body parts are just part of life, but not 'who we are'. They make the perfect, thoughtful birthday gift."

Hello Steve:
The most fabulous song telling how it is about the health care system in the U.S. You nailed it on the head, & I'm proud to debut Have A Seat on the HUM!!! I previewed your C.D. last night, & I had to fight back the tears on some of the songs. My hat is off to you Sir!!!
Kudos!!!!

Steve, I read your ' bio', and certainly appreciate
your work, your motivation and articulation.
The fact that these are your first compositions speaks to
the intensity of your commitment to this subject. Life , death,
whew!.. that's ambitious.. perhaps more so than radio usually
is, but there's NPR.. college radio, late night DJ's ..
That you make the point that we're all in this together,
seems like many folks can relate..
This song tends to have a refreshingly non bitter approach
to these problems.. the tone of the lyric, melody and your
vocal delivery compliment one another...

Steve these songs are GREAT!! You really have a talent for putting into song how we feel everyday. Don't ever stop, the world needs to hear how it really is. I'm sending you a check for $20 for a CD

Different than what I thought it would be but I liked it very much. As Joy says, no one can sing it or live it as you seem to do.

I want to tell you that listening to your CD forces me to get in touch with deep issues and feelings. And what it reinforces in me is not to put off anything you want to do or that is important to you while you are lucky enough to have good health. I congratulate you for your courage. I think you are brave and in a real way a revolutionary. To have the courage to sing out what is wrong and inhuman about the medical system and the "Health Business" (false advertising in a way since they can not deliver in many cases).

Hi Steve,
This is great stuff. Thanks for the music, I've been enjoying listening to it where it's posted on the hospice volunteer forum. Bravo - keep up the great work!
