Both outstanding shows.

 

Whole family got sick two weeks later. Halfway hoping it was the 'Rona and that we have the antibodies now.   Got my son tested and it wasnt the flu or pneumonia but symptoms were similar.....

Shout out to Uptown - good to see your post and hope you're doing well!

I imagine that anything and everything for the balance of the year will be canceled if it hasn't been already. I packed a good amount in the 2.5 months before the lockdown!

Woz,

Talking with you during a show or two, I know that you spent the first months of 2020 wisely.  smiley
