Sorry, I’ve not been around much of late, Covid finally got me. So far it has not been too bad of a hit. I mainly feel like I have a really bad cold – stuffy head, lots of coughing, aches, and pains – and I find that I am utterly exhausted all of the time. But it certainly isn’t as bad as it could be.
Me being me I’ve tried to blog a little but sitting up for more than about 20 minutes at a time wears me out. But never fear my music-loving friends, I shall be back. I don’t know when that might be, hopefully, next week, but don’t you dare count me out.

Hey Matt, feel better. After I tested positive after several days of suffering, I got 4 shots of Regeneron (Anti-bodies). It’s a week later and most symptoms are gone. Still a little weak. Music is the best thing for a person with Covid. Get better and rock on my brother.
See you back here soon. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Thanks, everyone for the kind words. As you’ve likely figured out I’m feeling quite a bit better. My head is still full of gunk and I’m tired all the time, but I’ve been able to sit up for a bit longer and that’s let me do a little blogging.
