It was such a glorious sunny day. Here's something they don't tell you on TV: when you go outside, you're isolated - because, besides the dog-walkers, there's nobody out there. You can maintain your social distance, wear your face mask if you wanna, but chances are you can walk for blocks without even seeing another person. And it's quiet out there. Without the constant freeway drone, and the planes ("de planes!" - we live close to the airport), you can actually hear the birds singing. Yes, they're back, the robins, red-wing blackbirds, Canada geese, ducks, and the ever-popular sparrows. Since Snap Fitness and my wife's Sweat'n'Sleaze Gym have closed, we go out for a walk every morning as soon as we get up.
It's another one of those Depression era songs that people leaned on for comfort and hope. It is rumored that Fats Waller wrote this song and sold it to Jimmy McHugh and Dorothy Fields, so I credit him in the video as well.
Technical note - Sorry, Norm. I didn't see the reflection of the tripod until I was just about finished with the editing.
Hope you're all keeping safe, keeping busy. Go for a nice walk and then come home and bake some cookies.
