I'm number ONE!!!!
So, in case you haven't read this via MySpace or the Orchard....
I took the Program Final and PASSED it... so I'm graduating!!! Can't believe it. It was rather difficult, and I totally didn't feel confident after taking it. But, you can bet my eyes lit up when my professor told me 'congratulations'. :)
So, now it's more studying for the State Medical Board in December.
Thank you, God.
:)

My only fear is this thing now...
With an abysmal sigh, all I can think of is how nervous I am. God, please let me do well on this Anatomy and Physiology exam. I'm actually willing to sell my soul for it. Any takers?
And yet, there's still ... I bet he doesn't think I'm pretty anymore. Heh. I guess it's gone now that I expressed it.
Beauty is only epidermis deep. (lil' a&p humor)
Well, that's all.

Tall Stacks - Day 4
Over the Rhine
Old Crow Medicine Show
Wilco
Well, by the time my favourites played... I was Tall Stacked-out.
Over the Rhine put on a pretty amazing show. They invited a nice fella from the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. He added the mandolin, violin, and banjo. They also had a 3 piece horn section, a new drummer, and a familiar bass player. I'm guessing they're gonna use these extras on the new album, and I'm sure it will sound even more fantastic. I was very pleased how they took the opportunity to do something a little different with their set. There were quite a few folks there... probably a couple thousand.
It was great to see some folks I haven't seen in a while... Dan/Marg, Luke and Nichole(!), etc... even Casie came along for the show. Go her. As well as Tish, Zayne, Kimberly, Bill, Stiv and Amanda... I feel like I'm leaving someone out.
After their set I got some saratoga chips from the Montgomery Inn. Mmm Mmm Mmm. Their sauce is like heaven's barbeque. Anyhoo ...
Old Crow was just like usual. Very good. Although, with them and all those little instruments(fiddle/banjo/upright bass) I think it sounds better in a smaller venue. They had quite a turn-out. We were all the way in the back of the grassy knoll, so that could have made it not sound so great. As well as the guy standing beside us who kept saying "this sound sucks ass". No, really? It's a festival. The sound isn't supposed to good, jerk. *smile*
So, I was happy with the show... Bill, Zayne, and I skipped out at the very end to catch a coupla tunes from Medeski, Martin, and Wood. They're a jazz/funk/techno(?) kinda band. I can't listen to that sorta stuff for very long, it all starts to run together. So, then we ran back down to the other stage to catch...
Wilco. Now, that's a rock band. I've never seen them live. And apparently the lead singer's mother passed away previously in the week, but he said he had to play otherwise it would make her mad. Sad and crazy. He sure put on a good show.
By the time this show came around, I was exhausted. But alas, my dear friend Bruce showed up. And everything is always better with Bruce. He's so funny, he has so much energy! So, he sang along with most of the songs and we moved our hips a little and took some photos. It was a great show. I wish I knew the setlist. Great stuff. I love his voice.
Afterwards, Bill and I went to Arthur's(muh fav place) and got some warm food. Good times.
Tall Stacks was really great. I felt so blessed and enriched catching all that music. I'm pretty sure I heard some of the greatest music ever. I missed a coupla bands that I really wanted to see... Kim Taylor, Tift Merritt, and Rhett Miller. I'm sure they'll come around again.
There's talk of them doing the music portion of the event on a yearly basis. Woohoo!
Till next time...
p.s. this post is about 4 days too late. :) thanks for reading!

Tall Stacks - Day 3
Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder
John Hiatt
So, this was my first time seeing both. What a great nite for music. There was a little chill in the air, the stars were out, and the river was calm. I found myself thanking God more often than normal. I truly needed it.
John Hiatt's music makes my heart beat a little differently. There's such a realness about his writing, and even the way he plays guitar and piano. Im having trouble describing the way I feel. I'm just thankful I got to see that tonite. It was beautiful.
Ricky Skaggs is always great to listen to. Those are some really talented musicians. Their stories are always so interesting to me. Makes me wish I would have grown up in West Virginia somewhere(s). It was a toe-tappin' good time.
Bluegrass always takes me back. My grandpa was the only person I knew who listened to bluegrass when I was growing up. I remember standing next to him in our little small-town park on the 4th of July, listening to his favourite music. Bluegrass. I probably didn't like it then, but it put down some deep roots in me. And now, I have my brother and sister to thank for keeping me up-to-date.
I feel blessed tonite.

Tall Stacks - Day 2
The Del McCoury Band
Rosanne Cash
Kim and I rode down to the river to meet up with Casie and Beth and listen to Del McCoury... I didn't pay as much attention to them b/c we were all drinky and chatty. They were very good, tho. Kim absolutely loves them. It was so cold! Near the end of the show, we made it up to the front of the stage for Rosanne Cash. I have to say I was a little disappointed with her. Her latest album is really great, but her live show is just not as impressive. She needed some drums or something. I do love her voice, tho. I did get to meet her after the show. Bill had sent me some posters to get signed... so I gave some away and got 2 signed, one for Bill/one for me. She wasn't the most friendly person, but then again, it was like 40 degrees outside. I tried to get a pic with her, and that didn't work out. But I did get a close-up. Ha.
So... it was a decent nite. Now I wish I would have gone to see Rodney Crowell... I heard per Mariesa that he was very good.
More music comin' up....
