Deanne, for the health of the industry, please recommend another performer that may want to do that job. We need business to resurrect at some point. Give your AD a few names of younger, hungrier musicians that will be continuing their careers in whatever fashion the business takes. It may not be something that interests you at this time, but it's nice to throw a bone to the next in line when we can, right?

Don, I am not comfortable about entering any of the local senior venues right now. They do the best they can to be safe but after seeing what I have seen the last 15 years in these places I have my doubts. Right now in the DFW area these are the locations of 90% of the cases and deaths caused by the virus. If I return to playing again it will be a little later in the year.

But you said outside setup so really no problem I can see. Also Dave is right, pay it forward.

Deanne,
I have lots of experience playing as a OMB at senior venues in the DFW area . I absolutely love playing and singing Great American Songbook Standards, classic C&W and show tunes, etc . I don’t have my normal teaching obligation now so my schedule is open to travel anywhere in the DFW area.

Wife and I are doing a courtyard gig in two weeks time at a high end seniors res. No covid reported and we're playing under a gazebo fifty feet from any adjacent building. All residents will be in their rooms overlooking the courtyard. We're not allowed to enter the building - we even have to go across the road to a gas station if we need the washroom. Sounds safe enough for me, and the folks get their entertainment. Rock on!
