Don Good news and glad to hear it, any good news these days is welcome. Nice to have an owner actually think about music duiring all this. I feel we entertaineers are the last thing they will want to worry about when they re-open because they'll be trying to makeup lost time. We'll see but I'm not hopeful aabout things returning to what they were.

“Pity Party”, everyone has them from time to time. Are they bad? Naw, just a place to hide and complain.
I hear you Don, you are waking up, fantastic. The blood begins to flow a bit faster, new idea come, and the old smiling Don is back. NICE! I like that, John C.

That's really exciting! Glad to hear about your friend Ernest too. The testing situation is a mess; you can bet that he was infected.
I'm not a virologist. But I'm pretty sure this thing is being spread by people breathing, talking, laughing, etc. Many of them don't even know they have it.
Indoor environments are risky, because aspirated virus can linger for a long time. Outside it should be diluted by fresh air, but I would make your personal safe zone at least 15 feet. Someone compared the virus breathed out by others to cigarette smoke. We don't allow smoking within 25 feet of our building entrance, so give yourself a buffer!
Not sure what to tell you about requests and tips. Maybe use PayPal for family & friends with the name of the song as the subject? Make a poster, or write your PayPal ID on a white board near the door (not near you!) Overall a positive development!

Thanks everyone. Yes, I'm really ready to get out, but have to be very cautious for a while yet. Ted, I'm sure he had it. One of our close friends, who came into the club very often, was the first person in this area to die from it. I had taken off for vacation the month of March, or I may well have caught it too.
