Social Distancing

So, now that the Angel O'Death is flapping his wings over Milwaukee, the simple solution occurred to everyone simultaneously - let's build little forts out of toilet paper packages and hide in them with our families until this passes.  I suppose you've heard enough, enough, enough about all that virus stampede stuff on Outta-My-Facebook and PanicNewsNetwork TV.  Now that we've all been sent to our rooms by the government, what to do next? 

I suppose I've always craved for a little Social Distancing all my life, it's just grand to wake up on a full day with nothing on it. Projects around the house are completing without interruption.  Things get cleaned, sorted, painted. But still...

I miss my piano students. Oh, a few carefully selected students manage to slip in at undisclosed locations and times to keep a little beauty going on in their lives.  And I miss the people at church,  the services, get-togethers, the choir.  Music is so important, once one's survival is ensured.  There is so much beauty in a Bbminb5, the hauntingly beautiful chord that pops up in Beatles tunes when you least expect it.  There's so much joy to be had free for the taking in music.

So, here's what happens when there's nobody to share music with. This video is safe to watch.  I deployed my full protective personal social distancing gear.  Put it on, and nobody but nobody will get within six feet of you - guaranteed!

Enjoy your time at home.  It won't be forever.  And I'm sure the world will get back at us later....

Keep yourselves safe!
