Steve Price
A nurse for 25 years, Steve Price also entered the music business in 2007 with the release of Awake. The country folk numbers on the 12 song CD address people struggling with ailments like the narrator in "Chest Pain". Meanwhile, "Have a Seat" reveals the problems with America's health care industry.

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!!!!

Additions to Notes' Bibliography
Since the publication of Notes From the Waiting Room: Managing a Loved One's End of Life Hospitalization and How to Efficiently Settle the Family Estate, I've discovered more books worthy of inclusion in Notes' bibliography. New additions to Recommended Reading | The Best of the Best are:
Awake, (CD), Steve Price RN, singer/songwriter/guitarist, Steve Price Productions, 2007
I don't crow about it but I'm an ex-pro musician. I played fusion drumkit, and have experienced some of life's most ecstatic moments during live ensemble performance. So I listen very carefully to music, to its arrangements and recording production. I await, delight in, and repeatedly listen to nuances of composition, timbre, and performance. Take good writing, composition, arranging, and production, then add brave lyrical content and you have Steve Price's Awake—a compilation of 12 original bluegrassy-folk-country songs addressing mortality, our medical course, and last-phase-of-life meaning. I always say we need to start talking. Song is artful speech. Steve sings, "we see God's perfection and we see our own reflection, all in the service of you." Steve's work perfectly references and reflects all our experience—lay people and providers alike. I say two thumbs up. Steve's work can almost raise the dead—or, seriously speaking, raise our spirits in spite of dying and death. Buy Steve's CD. Support his work.
