Good Morning Blues people. It's my kinfolk's funeral today, my cousin Charles Moore. He was a great guy. I really appreciate having him in my life. He passed away. And of course today is time to pay respect, but today I'm just not feeling like going to the funeral. I hadn't brought myself to want to go.
Too much COVID, I know that at the funeral there'll be people that are cousins and kinfolk, people that you might want to shake hands and hug and before you know it, I sure would hate to shake hands and hug up on the COVID. And of course it will be sad. It's always sad to have people you know pass away. But I know there will be so many family members and people I know there that I wouldn't behave myself and there'll be people wanting to hug and things. Probably better that I just stay to myself.
I'm getting older now. I'll be coming up on my birthday next month. I think I'll be 64 And I have to look out for myself. Maybe more now than before, since I'm becoming a senior and I have to follow my heart and do the things that I feel like doing. And don't worry about things that I don't feel like doing.
Funerals I've never made a lot of sense to me. I noticed last week that Starr Atkins, another blues musician friend of mine passed away. Starr didn't have a funeral. She said in her obituary at the family's request, there would be no funeral. I thought that was so respectable of her. Apparently she or maybe her family didn't want to take the risk of having more funerals by bringing all the people together during this pandemic. So we all paid our respects online to her. Times are really changing. God bless us all.
