2. You a Bass player?

That must be awful for him. We stopped our concerts after our March concert and I did not have a contract for the first concert this year but I finally get to play next month. I cannot say how much that means to me. We will be spread out all over the stage and wearing a mask for a wind player is not ideal but we will be playing. Separate entrances and exits, plexiglass makes it sound like it is going to be very hard for ensemble but....the point was I cannot imagine how he feels. Not a big fan of his but he certainly is a major figure in Jazz and as a pianist. His entire life has been to do this. It is not like a regular job, it is everything. I cannot imagine his pain and frustration.
