Deane, it is a new season, and this virus is intensifying that change. Once you accept the change, the new season, your ability to succeed, as you have done in the past, can be used again, but differently.

It was not easy to accept that I will no longer be able to do the things I loved most in my life, but there is more. You now have the wisdom and experience that younger men do not have. You now have a different type of freedom, but you will not experience that freedom until you let go of the things you loved to do – and enter onto your new season.

Music and my keyboard:
I have three lists, about 135 songs in each; they are programed in my iPad, computer, and my keyboard. They are in lyric and note form. I am editing them, they look 50% better, and I they are displayed them on my 23” monitor, just above my keyboard. I do not have to worry that they cannot see my face any longer. I am also editing styles for the Sx900. I always enjoyed setting up my music and keyboard for a job, now I set my music for me – different songs, styles, and tempos.

I came to music because I loved music, I still do. A kind friend sent me a video of three tenors singing My Way, Frank Sinatra was in the audience, front row. Oh, how I love that music, many of that type of music will be going into my song list. If I do not do what I am doing, music will no longer exist in my life--- and it will be me who destroyed it.

Another direction I have chosen is to share my wisdom and experiences with those who are struggling. It is time to give back.

Dean, move on, there is more, John C.
