The music and the tours provide counterpoint to her career as a physician: She works part-time as a cardiologist and assistant professor of medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville. This balance was not achieved easily or quickly. Yet toward the end of her fellowship in translational research at the University of Pennsylvania, Brown began doubting her goal of a full-time career in academic medicine. Then I wrote my first song and sang it at an open-mic night. One show led to another, and I realized that playing music made me happier than almost anything else.

Guy walks into a bar He notices an old drunk in a corner playing a piano.

There's a scribbled sign that says "Taking Requests" and a tip jar. And on top of the piano sits a mangy looking monkey.
