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.
