Managed 4 gigs since March. Only one on steel apart from some remote recordings. Stay safe mate.

Thanks for asking and I have often thought about posting something similar. Me. No I’m not ok. Dealing with it but certainly not OK. These are crazy times and talking a bit of crap with other similarly cursed musicians can help a lot. Sometimes though the forum can be more stressful than just keeping shtoom. Time for all of us to use this forum to lighten the mood for all. Let’s face it. Most of us might be dead before we get another chance to play along to Donny’s terrible “I love you because” band in a box Humpty Dumpty version....

Thanks for asking, we're doing OK up here - pretty well isolated anyway, as those of you who came to the NESGF meetings know. But I do worry for the folks in high rise or other denser housing.
Hold on Calum :( we must get through this!

I'm alright thanks mate and I hope everyone else is and gets through this.
Instrumentals and Football are getting me through this.
Odd project here and there for singers too which is a change. Nothing beats live gigs for the buzz though. I'm really missing being told I'm a great keyboard guitar player.

Closest I've had is when the soundman at Country 2 Country asked me if I needed a stand for my lap steel, just before I got it out the case...
