I was so
sad, this morning, to hear of the passing of the great
Bill Withers. I
was feeling edgy walking down narrow pharmacy aisles yesterday trying to pick up all the things on my list. Some
of the aisles were closed off for restocking and there were people in
others so I had to circle around and come back when they'd gone. All in
all it was taking ages and the longer I had to remain at the store the more
nervous I felt about being out among even a small number of people during the COVID-19 pandemic. Then
Lovely Day came on over the speakers and it felt
like a sign, I relaxed.
Thank you, Bill Withers, for all the
amazing music. It's made a difference in the lives of so many people and
will continue to do so. In fact, in this crazy, uncertain and terrifying time we need your music more than ever.
