Social Distance Sing Along for Our Blog Friends

It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sitting next to me
Makin' love to his tonic and gin

He says, "Son, can you play me a memory
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's clothes"

La la la, di da da
La la, di da da da dum

Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feelin' alright

Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
But there's someplace that he'd rather be
He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me"
As the smile ran away from his face
"Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this place"

Oh, la la la, di da da
La la, di da da da dum

Now Paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And he's talkin' with Davy, who's still in the Navy
And probably will be for life

And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it's better than drinkin' alone

Sing us a song you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well we're all in the mood for a melody
And you got us feeling alright

It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
'Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see
To forget about life for a while
And the piano, it sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like a beer
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
And say, "Man, what are you doin' here?"

Oh, la la la, di da da
La la, di da da da dum

Sing us a song you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well we're all in the mood for a melody
And you got us feeling alright

Greetings Blogger Friends!

Today's Post is brief on words but higher on "Tech. 

It was created at at the suggestion of "My Faithful and Obedient Companion of 44 years!

It's no secret that social distancing is the word these days and many "Celebrities" and even everyday folks like my new Daughter in Law, Erin are using to educate or just keep in touch.  Given that my "bloggers" are both my closest friends and relatives we felt it was an opportunity to experiment ourselves.  Isolation and distance from you all (physical) helped spur this post.

Incidentally most of you were there and participated in our union 44 years ago.  I hope we all have many many more together.

The first Video is a quick one I took while hiking yesterday.  Shows the vastness of our Physical Solitude.  It was small enough (a few seconds) to just add to Blog.  

The second is about 5 minutes and was so large in megs, I Utubed.  Just grab a drink and then click link below.  I hope you join in where ever you are.  If your ears can take it.

My Faithful and Obedient and I wish you all safe and happy seclusion in the interesting times.

We love you all!
