Hey everyone, I love reading your hillarious stories and posts. It is a great addition to this unreal time. Stay safe and healthy. Steve and I are missing the opportunity to hug and kiss our only grandson. My daughter, Colleen calls us on Duo and we get to see him changing almost everyday. Thank you for being out there for everyone.

A perfect quote Mike. And I loved your vacation joke, Greg. Remember that Shakespeare himself lived through three bouts of plague so there is much levity in is writings. I(agree with Kathleen and Judy-- The wit and wisdom are much appreciated. It's greast to stay connected. Stay safe and well!

It's day 98 of quarantine and I found out I have the most loving wife: Last night I woke up while she was holding a pillow tightly over my face to protect me from Covid-19!

In October 1965 this song hit the Billboard Hot 100 and now almost 55 years later it returns (albeit in a more grown-up format) to help us get through this.

Nice to hear from everyone, Greg, your posts are the best. Hang On everyone. All is well here in Bordeaux, just very quiet. Seems like in this region, most people are taking the "stay home" order very well, unlike Paris. They really had a hard time keeping people in and now it is the hotbed of the virus in France. Best wishes to all and keep the creative content flowing. Thanks

Loved the Sloopy rendition. I was born in Columbus while visiting my grandparents while my Dad was overseas during WWI, but have always been a Wisconsin Badger fan. My family is from Wisconsin.

Linda, as you were born in Akron, I would have thought you would be a Zip, not a Buckeye!

Jerry, I figured OSU was your college team given your misguided devotion to the Cleveland Browns :)

Hang on everyone and as so many before me have said: STAY SAFE!

This is for all the Buckeyes!

Leave her alone, Michael. If she says she's a Buckeye, she's a Buckeye and so am I ...graduate of THE Ohio State University with the best college football song ever. And all the local high schools play the same song at their football games. Go Bucks!

Boy, I'm glad I have so many team mates. I was born in Cleveland and will always be a Browns, Indian, and OSU fan. Go Buckeyes, The Dog pound, and Chief Wahoo. And don't forget the Rebels. Keep safe and healthy.

Mike I only lived in Akron a short time because my Dad was in the Army, so I moved pretty much every 2 or 3 years. I lived in Athens, Greece, Frankfurt and Munich Germany and 5 states. Ended up in Anaheim and Savanna. I'm so glad I made so many wonderful friends!!

Grear posts Greg. I think you should do a stand up comedy show. Like Judy, I am a Badger's fan.Keep the posts coming. :)

Thanks Linda I have good writers. I love it when the world of today takes music from our generation and shares the spirit. This (IMHO) is an amazing bit of musicianship and film editing.

Thanks Greg. The Playing For Change website has long been one of my favorites. This is the first one they did. Some of my other favorites are Gimme Shelter and Imagine (try and keep a dry eye when you watch this one). Many songs from our youth are on their site. Says a lot about the GREAT music of our times.

Like Linda, thank you for sharing this site, plus really enjoy reading all the posts, Helps pass some time while "lockdown" in my home. Funny always thought of that term as something to do with Prison or Jail when the prisoners got out of control. Knowing us, most likely a proper use of the term.

I've heard Playing for Change on satellite radio (Margaritaville) but didn't get it until I shared this video. If you're looking for inspiration subscribe to their YouTube channel. The positive emotion they bring is inspiring.

Yeah Mitch lockdown is a good description. I've got all this time on my hands and I can't even go to Vegas.

I was thinking, Mike has entertained us with his best-of lists. How about if we shared our best of Corona Virus masks that we're supposed to be wearing in public. It would help if we stumble across one another out on the street.

I don't think anyone can top that one. c :) And this will certainly help you keep social distancing should anyone accidentally get too close.

Agreed Linda! I would definitely cross the road. Thank you for all the music, it was a wonderful treat this morning. Stay safe and healthy. I'm doing my best with long walks. So far I'm able to keep my distance from everyone.

Greg and Richard, the songs you posted are just wonderful. I don't remember how I came across it, but I have also enjoyed songs from Play for Change for some time. They start with great songs and then bring together these wonderful collaborations. Sometimes, like with their first effort, "Stand by Me", the players are unknowns, but make a strong and touching recording. Their success has also led to participation by a number of well know music stars. The organizers/producers/music editors seem to be very skilled at blending recordings from multiple sources into a compelling presentation. Great, uplifting stuff.

Self-Isolation Quarantine Diary:

Day 1 - I can do this!! Got enough food and wine to last a month!

Day 2 - Opening my 8th bottle of wine. I fear wine supplies might not last!

Day 7 - Strawberries: Some have 210 seeds; some have 235 seeds. Who knew?

Day 8 - 8 p.m.: Removed my Day Pajamas and put on my Night Pajamas.

Day 10 - Today, I tried to make hand sanitizer. It came out as Jell-O Shots!!

Day 14 - Laughing way too much at my own jokes!!

Day 19 - I put liquor bottles in every room. Tonight, I'm getting all dressed up and going bar hopping.

Day 22 - Struck up a conversation with a spider today. Seems nice. He's a web designer.

Day 28 - Isolation is hard. I swear my fridge just said, "What the hell do you want now?"

Day 33 - I realized why dogs get so excited about something moving outside, going for walks or car rides. I think I just barked at a squirrel.

Day 35 - If you keep a glass of wine in each hand, you can't accidentally touch your face.

Day 40 - Anybody else feel like they've cooked dinner about 195 times this month and its's only the 13th?

Well, I had my laughs for today! Thank you. I need to visit more often.

Mike, where did you ever find my purple prom dress?

Greg, I'm glad to hear my refrigerator isn't the only one talking. I'm running out of the "comfort food" excuse.

And my new mantra (read on a box somewhere), IT IS NOT A CRIME TO HAVE WINE WITH LUNCH!
