All the cool kids do it! Some of us are sleepier than others but very enjoyable. Jim on guitar is a nice touch, homey.

Thanks! I'll have to brush up a new one for next week. Maybe you could dust yours off and join in. Know any easy 3 chord songs we know the words to?

I’m not sure you need me to torture a guitar but I’m sure there are some tunes we can sing along to.

I happen to have a simple old tune that I rewrote the lyrics to, just for the occasion.

Gov'nor's Blues

There's trouble in the State tonight
I can feel it in my bones
I had a premonition
That I would not be alone
I knew there'd be contagion
But i didn't plan ahead
Ev'rything exploded and
Disease began to spread
So citizen there's a shutdown
Put some gloves upon your hands
Here's a homemade facemask now
Wear it just like that was the plan
You be cool for thirty days
And I'll review my stand
I'm sorry it went down like this
Someone had to lose
It's the nature of the bus'ness
It's the Gov'nor's blues
Gov'nor's blues

The doctors and the nurses
The essentials and the law
The young'uns and the old ones
And the ones nobody saw
No matter if they're in the pink, sickly or on drugs
You've got to wear your PPE
Cause they always carry bugs
There's lots of opportunists
Lots of dirty deals
Ev'ryone's got an alibi
In case somebody squeals
It's the lure of easy money
It's gotta very strong appeal
Perhaps you'd understand it better
Standin' in my shoes
It's the ultimate in power trips
It's the Gov'nor's blues
Gov'nor's blues

See it in the headlines
You hear it ev'ry day
They say they're gonna stop it
But it doesn't go away
Vaccine trials in Seattle
Drug trials at VA
There's some hope from Chicago, but
I mean it's here to stay
It's racking up the body count
In nursing homes and ICUs
You ask any WHO man
He'll say there's not enough we can do
From the office of the President
Right down to me and you
Me and you
It's a losing proposition
But one you can't refuse
It's the politics of pandemics
It's the Gov'nor's blues
Gov'nor's blues
