I have been working from home all but 1 or 2 days each week and today was my day in the office and we just had "Black Friday" at work and I am still fortunately employed but feel for my friends and coworkers who are now out of work. Had flashbacks of 9 years ago in the recession. Hope we can return to normal soon!
Thank you, Folks! I appreciate you taking the time and commenting. My first video I shot didn't get the thumbs up from my wife, so rewrote some lyrics and redid the video, then added some sloppy piano, which someday I hope to learn to actually play, but until then it's plink plunk plink ...
Thank you Belinda, the music came first and then set the tone for the lyrics, which got scratched and rewritten a few times more than I would have liked lol
RTZ welcome to my world! Loved your comment! Made the wife laugh too
Great to hear from you Jala, hope all is well!
Love the kitty pic and generously kind comments Nancy!
Pick, it's about the late start of the Baseball season ;)
No BUGGY discriminations here ;)
Thanks Rick, dark but no got killed off in this one (reminds me, might be time for another murder ballad!)
Much appreciated, Danny, Denbo, Dave, Buggy, Alan, Andries, Poorness, John, Bob, and the afore mentioned :)

I don’t think the Bug had anything to do with this, he was jammin on the beach! Excellent mix of heartfelt play and one of your darkest tunes to date. Man, you hit all cylinders here, great video Derek!
