WHEN COVID HIT LIVE MUSIC WENT ON HIATUS. WE STAYED FULL TIME AT OUR PLACE IN WONDER LAKE AND STARTED SPENDING THE WINTER IN STUART FLORIDA. I DID DO A SONG WHEN VACCINATION CAME AVAILABLE AND THERE WAS HOPE OF GOING LIVE ! WHEN THINGS OPENED BACK UP I RE-JOINED THE WEEKLY BLUES JAM WITH  GLEN DAVIS IN LAKE GENEVA IN THE SUMMER AND CONTINUED TO SIT IN OCCASIONALLY WITH FRANK WHITING AND ANDREW SEDLAK.

 IN 2023 KRIS HEATON CAME UP TO WONDER LAKE AND WE DID A PARTY AND CONCERT WHICH WE DID AGAIN IN 2024. WE WROTE A NOVELTY SONG TO COMMEMORATE THE EVENT. I STARTED PLAYING AT TONY AMBER'S OPEN MICS AND HAVE SAT IN WITH HIM AT SOME GIGS AS WELL. THERE IS A GREAT MUSIC SCENE IN THE AREA AND I ENJOY PLAYING REGUARLY.  I DO MISS THE VENUES AND MUSICIANS AROUND OAK PARK AND AT THE OLD TOWN SCHOOL IN CHICAGO BUT ONLY PARTICIPATE THERE OCCASIONALLY.
