John Prine cover - Speed of the Sound of Loneliness
Playing a 6 string guitar I made on this wonderful song by John Prine. Praying that he recovers and I thought of this song of his with so many of us being isolated at home.

Thank you Poorness! I guess I could still busk in the park at the end of our street as long as everyone stays 6 feet away. Does the virus live on rotten tomatoes thrown from 6 feet? lol

Hi Danny, Thank you my friend! We have similar at work as you. Had some nitwit come to work with fever and cough and they sent him home, then shut the whole assembly plant down to disinfect and sanitize for 2 days. Now we have to have out temps checked b4 going in. Me and my group are working from home most days and in the office 1 or 2 days at most. Crazy stuff! Hang in there

Well played Derek. Great fingerpicking and harp... and singing too. You're ready for busking season. Oh wait... everyone is locked inside.

Lovely harp and finger style. Wonderful job on a great J.P. song. Thank you, truly. The news today is that JP has improved and is now listed to be in stable condition.

Wonderful job Derek A great John Prine song. Praying he has a full recovery. And I am praying for this outbreak to end soon so our country can get back to some normalcy. My job has really been crazy since the outbreak. I think people are getting stir crazy because the crazy calls we have been having. We have to lysol everything down before we can even sign into our computers after we take our temperature everyday. And since I am the supervisor I have to spray every door handle in the building before I leave each morning. I had planned on doing some busking this summer but that has been put on hold as well as some trips that my wife and I had planned. Oh well stay safe my friend
