Well, suddenly things get real. My music partner and wonderful guitarist, Lebz, father has passed as a result of Covid-19. I am so devasted for him.
Liz Petty wrote these lyrics and also, this time gave me the music. Just a simple backing of drums, bass and piano. No harmonies. Just one lead vocal.
Liz sent me the lovely photographs which are just perfect for the song.

So sorry, Joanne, Lebz and all. This is so very sad. Love the lyrics with all the contrast. "may we know closeness wit distance" Such beautiful words throughout.
Beautiful song and tribute. My condolences to those who will miss him.
Sadly, many will following.
Thanks for sharing.
I also need to give you thanks for helping me discover BIAB. I had no idea what it was or how to use it. I watched one of your vids and subsequently put it on my Xmas wish list last December.
Pretty song Joanne! I have been lucky enough to not know any victims of this terrible pandemic, but my time will probably come. It is tragic. Thanks for sharing this sweet song!! Take care. Greg
