Those of us who make our living in the touring world are, of course, feeling the lost income, missing our friends, and hope to return to catering riders and coffin-like bunks as soon as it’s safe.

But there’s another, brighter side to the pirate ship being run aground. Scrolling through various social media today, I’m seeing touring comrades with their spouses, kids, families, and loyal pooches. So many smiling faces and grateful reunions. Hearts made whole again.

Stay at home if you can, my friends. We take so much for granted, perhaps most of all the time we have with the people we love.
