I have a SPECIAL surprise!
As many of you had heard in summer of 2020, I reached out to my friend, Ken Komisar, who is the Manager of the Country Duo Brown & Gray to write a song to celebrate nurses as 2020 was designated as the Year of the Nurse and Midwife by the World Health Organization (WHO).
This "ask" resulted in Kaci Brown and Sam Gray writing a song for our Connecticut nurses and the Video of them singing the song was debuted (acoustic version) at our RN Student Day on November 5, 2020.
Moreover, Kaci and Sam recorded a separate "Shout Out" to our RN Students as they begin their transition into practice in 2021.
Below is content from an email from Ken sharing his thanks and links to the newly created STUDIO Version, an overview of the Duo and their background, as well as, a link to the shout out!
Moreover, they are interested in creating some sort of funding stream from net revenue to support nursing workforce in CT and beyond.
Enjoy! Marcia

Big thank you to Marcia for the opportunity to brainstorm about what is possible when artists get inspired to create a song w. purpose and heart.
Below is a link to the produced STUDIO version of "You Didn't Have To" the song we created for the frontline working nurses, a link to Brown & Gray's most recent single with some backstory for context about them and to how this came to be, and a video of the Shout Out to CT Nurses!
"You Didn't Have To" by Brown & Gray.
