Hello my dearest friends,
The last few weeks have been extremely busy, but I have nothing but good things to say about the time that has passed. I started work September 12th and have been working like a busy bee ever since. I work Monday through Friday and one Saturday out of every month. My days start at 7:30AM and tend to run until 6:00PM. In addition to those hours, I have an hour commute each way from Charleston to Walterboro. The drive is not ideal, but I love working for Colleton Medical Center! I work between all three units in the hospital: Rehab, Inpatient (Acute) and Outpatient…talk about variety and a workout running from place to place, but it truly is a great learning environment for a new grad. I’m pretty tired when I walk through the door after work, but my patients and their families are totally worth it :)
That being said, I don’t have a lot of extra time on my hands to update my blog; however, I decided that I needed some good “R and R” tonight after a long Monday at work. So, what’s my agenda for this evening’s post? Update my readers (hope you are still out there) on some new music finds!
You can imagine that I am avidly searching for some new tunes to keep me motivated on my long drive to work, so I’ve done some digging...Here are some killer artists that I think you would love.
Robert Plant
Where you might know him from: Most recently, from the Band of Joy or maybe from his collaboration with Alison Kraus OR maybe as the front man for Led Zeppelin :) Yes, one of the most infamous “Gods of Rock and Roll” to have ever lived...Robert Plant! From his first days with Led Zeppelin in 1968 to the Band of Joy in 2010, this artist is still actively producing music and inspiring generation after generation. Want to give him a listen? Of course you do! Click on the video below to experience “Fortune Teller” with accompanist, Alison Krauss…brace yourself :)
Wilco
New to me but maybe not to you! Wilco has seen band members come and go since its start in 1994, but lead singer, Jeff Tweedy and bassist, John Stirratt still remain. I am still learning about the band but wanted to share a song that caught my attention the other day. If you have any feedback about Wilco, I would love to hear it! Not sure which album to start with but looking forward to further discovering their music. Click on the video below to listen to one of their newer songs, “I Might.” Please and thank you!!
Another recent and personal find :) Though new to me, Ray LaMontagne seems to have been around for a good while now. Beginning his on-the-side tour in 1999, LaMontage has become ever more present in the last few years. As with Wilco, if you have any insight to Mr. LaMontagne, I’d love to listen. I find his raspy voice to be absurdly velvet-like and can’t seem to get enough. Check on the video below to see what I mean: “Beg, Steal or Borrow.”
That’s it for my latest music finds. Imagine me driving through the windy roads to the small town of Walterboro as you listen to them and take time to enjoy each as your evening comes to a close tonight. Sending you blessings and love as always. Good night.
