I played this for my mom, who’s independent/assisted living facility is on lock down because of the Coronavirus. If I couldn’t get in to see her, and she couldn’t come out to see me, I figured I could play some music for her from the sidewalk while she listened from the balcony.

Here are some links to some Nashville news outlets that wanted to share this story. I hope it brings some encouragement.

I took Roy Thomson’s great arrangment for this song and added an intro and outro, and changed it up for solo blues playing. Normally I’d have some overdrive going, but for this crowd I kept it clean.
