The club re-opened. I've been there for over 8 years, 5 nights a week. They have asked me to come back, outside on a patio, with a cover.

I told them I'm out for the balance of the year, due to age, medical issues and the virus.

I may be done for good. I'll keep my recording schedule (100 hours a month as a "hired gun"; 100 hours on my own video productions), but, while I didn't plan things this way, I always wanted to stop before I embarrassed myself.

I guess 9 weeks off (at least 4 nights a week) in 63 years ain't bad. I just wanted to go until my 65th year.

So glad I got the chance to do what I love for that long.
I've got a lot to think about.

Be well, all.

P.S. haven't figured out about the work I do with the local Philharmonic. That will be a decision for after the fall, to see if there is an uptick in the virus infections.
