The club asked me to start back this ?Friday. I will not go inside. They said they would build a little raised stage (for separation) out on the covered patio.

I am thinking about it, but it may be time to hang it up.

I could see that happening, Don, ... I can understand people being reluctant to go back to work in such a public environment, but it has to happen sometime ... and to say it's because you are better off NOT working, is kind of a slap at an employer who might have held you on even if times were not good ...

Oh, you don't know how many times he has done that over the years. I'm sure enough of them will come around. Don't need the entire staff right now anyway.


BTW, Don, that "you" was not the personal you ... I'm sure you knew ... wink

Oh, I know. I'm not drawing anything, but there's a reason for that.

We've had to shut off reservations for Friday, so many people wanting to come.
Ernest did have the virus so he closed entirely for a month, even including takeouts.
His symptoms were extreme weakness, fever, pneumonia, headaches...they gave him antibiotics for the pneumonia. He was never hospitalized. Took about two weeks for symptoms to go away. He has now been tested negative for nearly a month.
I may take my gear over tomorrow and set up and set levels, etc. No customers will be there, so it will be better than trying to go early Friday. For now, and actually most of time, I'm the only person in this area with a "sit-down" music job. The other places are opening up too but they have different acts each weekend, and most often they are for only one night. Most of them are not having music right now because they aren't big enough to allow enough room for a large enough number of customers to make it profitable.
Bars and venues that don't serve food still can't be open, unless they seat people outside only.
We have four large rooms, and my music will be streamed throughout the building.

Not surprising about the need to shut off reservations ...
Don, you are fortunate to have such a set up, but you've earned it through your hard work, and giving Ernest and the clientele what they want ... Good that you are going to set up when no one is there ...
Also good to hear that Ernest survived all that ...
Be careful, my friend
God Bless

PS What's the first song going to be?
