Music for a Pandemic: Visions of Johanna (The Other Version)
“Ain’t it just like the night to play tricks when you’re tryin’ to be so quiet?
We sit here stranded, though we’re all doin’ our best to deny it”

Coronavirus Diary: April 14, 2020
Another morning dog walk at the Veterans Administration acreage. Nearly get lost in the swampy wildlife refuge. Pickup a prescription later. Finally return home to stare at Google-cast art work screen savers on the TV.

Good Friday at Notre Dame
As an agnostic atheist, this is not normal fare for me. But when I hear a performance of J.S. Bach’s Violin Sonata No. 1 in G Minor with full coronavirus/hazmat rigging, set in a historic European venue, I cannot resist. Today, French TV broadcast Good Friday services from a mostly-vacant Notre Dame cathedral. No requirement to speak or understand French.
