       So my local sheriff once put an end to some horrible after
       football game party/raves/drunken riots that were occurring at
       one house on my otherwise very quiet street and so I became
       friends with sheriff and he is fan of my music and also knows
       about my masked way of life.. I send him my little online music
       concerts every holiday because I know the sheriff plays piano in
       his spare time to relax.
       So Sheriff writes me to warn me of the chaos created by upcoming
       gatherings and festivals:
       "Dear Masked Man
       Ready for winter?  Lots of beans in the jar.
       Take care - don’t forget this weekend is:
       • Final “Art in the Park” - Blowing Rock
       • AppState Homecoming - ASU vs. Coastal Carolina
       • Valle Crucis “Valle Country Fair”
       • Wooly Worm Festival
       • X series race in Wilkesboro (Speedway)
       • Leaf Lookers
       Total traffic nightmare/gridlock.
       Play that mean guitar and stay in with plenty of snacks and food
       (cause you and the rest of us are going nowhere)!
       Later, my friend.
       **n **g**n, Sheriff
       W*tauga County, NC"
       Masked Man writes back to sheriff:
       "The only time I touch a wooly worm is to place it aside  so I
       can chop wood as seen in this video!

       my gutters! lol

       I tell the sheriff to be careful ..I tell him about an N95 mask
       that has an exhale valve that might be of benefit to him and his
       team
       Then I write him about how I got started on guitar and give him
       a little classical guitar concert:
       "My electric guitar stuff is actually a relatively new endeavor
       that really only began when the pandemic first broke out around
       2020 ..
       Originally I started out as a classical guitarist. I love the
       classical guitar because it sounds good all by itself..
       Beethoven called the classical guitar a miniature orchestra.. I
       dare say if it weren't for the classical guitar women probably
       wouldn't take me in and support me like they have...lol.. all
       walks of life tends to love the classical guitar. In the past
       Ive tested this out and hands down all people tend to love the
       sound of classical guitar
       Let's see if I can still play classical guitar.. I'm rusty but
       I'll just play through about 12 minutes or so of mistakes"

       Best Wishes,

       friendship and music safely online!

       Have to play some electric guitar to celebrate the fact my loved
       one and I masked and stayed masked during a hospital visit on
       Friday. It's now Tuesday evening and we feel great and that's a
       great sign our masks worked because people usually get sick
       after a few days after exposure to airborne illnesses. We feel
       great and had a wonderful masked walk today and yesterday!
       In tribute to our masks which saves our hides here's some
       electric guitar I happily played a few minutes ago from the
       safety of my little home studio that Data Report Info forum can
       rock to...

       What i did while playing is mix in some double stops or double
       notes.. that is two notes at once but because I fingerpick I get
       some stuff pick players often don't play.. my double notes are
       spaced out further because I pluck with thumb and fingers more
       than most electric players allowing me to get creative with some
       harmony here and there along with arpeggio like banjo rolls from
       time to time ..and double stops sort of like chuck berry does
       only somewhat fatter sounding..  anyway I am pinching a couple
       notes trying to improvise with harmony notes with my right
       fingers a lot... I don't use a pick..

       staff worker coughing their head off down the hallway, we made
       the nurses that weren't wearing masks wear one,  and our masks
       must have worked because we aren't sick!,
       YES!! Nothing wrong with us ..we wore our masks and we aren't

       Its Saturday night. On Friday, my loved one just returned from a
       local doctor routine yearly exam/ checkup.
       Everything looks good! My loved one and I masked up as usual for
       this event.
       We've been masking publicly since 2020, My loved one is 77 soon
       to be 78 years old and hasn't had a single airborne illness
       since 2020.
       Nothing spells airborne illness/disease exposure like a visit to
       the doctor's office and waiting room. Its nasty and stupid. I
       hear somebody painfully coughing their head off in the waiting
       room..except for us, everybody is completely maskless in waiting
       room and receptionists who share writing utensils with
       undiagnosed patients are exposing themselves. Fortunately our
       doctor masked for us and I told a nurse or two we preferred them
       to mask and they did...
       ...anyway we all know the hypocrisy of maskless healthcare world
       that takes an oath to protect one another from illnesses..
       contagious airborne illnesses... we all know the countless
       stories about people getting sick from where sick people gather
       to get diagnosed and treated for various illnesses. The chances
       of getting exposed to someone with an airborne illness is more
       than likely in a doctor's office or hospital than most anywhere.
       Simply wondering if the very chair you or your loved ones are
       sitting is was inhabited by a very ill person is terrorizing
       enough much less listening to their coughing in the waiting room
       or having to walk through a narrow so-called healthcare hallway
       with gauntlet of maskless people such as a big bearded delivery
       guy at the reception window  or to feel the draft of those walk
       by who have worked hands on with sick people is terrifying to us
       masked patients seeking a mere doctor checkup. To walk past her
       old maskless disheveled doctor that had a awkward smile on his
       ghost -like face in the hallway while in our masks was bizarre
       and risky. It's no wonder we used a newer doctor that showed
       more  willingness to mask.  We masked were smarter and safer
       than them all. It was even weird to see the nurse who just cared
       for us maskless amongst the maskless in the receptionists area.
       Very precarious indeed. The maskless are like ghosts..it just
       feels like the maskless people's days are numbered and
       eventually, sooner or later, the contagions will whittle them
       down like long covid has done to this society.
       Its not the same as it was when I was growing up as a child
       nothing rivals the challenges we face today in the present...my
       habitat my environment is not the same as it was in days of
       old..new microscopic entities are at play..  Covid and long
       covid is not finished and has many more victims. Variants still
       forming still mutating ..covid and its outbreaks simply havent
       ceased and many airborne illnesses that were almost eradicated
       have reestablished themselves to our dismay amongst are high
       speed globe trotting peers and amidst climate change. Even
       nonhuman animals are affected with these afflictions.. Given
       these facts and figures I embrace and chose the mask to protect
       me as it definitely is  a smart day and age not to take chances
       and definitely smart to mask and chose not to breathe in
       microscopic entities in this day and age.
       I would have expected more for me the Masked Man and a masked 77
       year old woman for a mere doctor checkup. I made sure all those
       who breathed or touched us masked for us but this is shocking
       the I should have to be their instructor considering the facts
       and figures available to us all about airborne illnesses
       including the insidious nature of covid and the reign of long
       covid.
       Anyway my heart goes out to the masked people and masked ones
       who are my heroes  that have to work or live with people that go
       maskless in pubic and it's like torture to have to be around
       anyone who needlessly exposes themselves to viruses given the
       fact that many virus's carry long term health repercussions that
       diminish the quality of life for themselves and others later on
       down the road.
       I will celebrate in advance with a little electric guitar music
       that my loved one and I were masked for the doctor's visit and
       we probably didn't get  any germs or contract a virus despite
       obviously a person was having respiratory symptoms in the
       waiting room and obviously people with covid and other illnesses
       are asymptomatic for awhile. I am only assuming we are both safe
       because we were masked (washed clothes , took off our masks and
       showered when we got home and had made the doctors and nurses
       mask before working with us directly). We likely prevented
       airborne illness that we were needlessly exposed to in the
       waiting room or from contact with dirty surfaces.
       Anyway it would have been a lot more pleasant if everyone took
       the preventative measures we took as one never knows for sure
       they haven't gotten an airborne disease from an exposure even
       though we wore our masks and did our part to protect them..
       others didn't even try to protect us...I really resent being
       exposed to a virus from a bunch of dare I say sick morons
       coughing and sputtering in a doctor's office that don't have
       masks on...I really resent the nurse that gives me any signs
       they might be reluctant to mask for me and my loved one who
       stand before them already masked... that's sheer terror for me..
       it makes sense to be scared of viruses.. and its not fair others
       don't protect themselves...I certainly don't want to take care
       of people who don't protect themselves and get sick...  You
       really have keep that mask snug and secure, carry a lot of
       disinfectant and defend yourself. It's tough but you can do it!
       Time to celebrate the mask that probably saved our life from
       "Friday's doctor office exposure to illness day"...
       Here's some music and here's to those of you that wear a mask to
       save lives! Keep up the good fight masked crusaders! Those who
       use and wear the safety mask are my heroes! There's not enough
       of you!

       P.S. Just a note on this endeavor to stay safe.. It ain't easy!
       Its not a perfect situation whatsoever... The cats just peed
       upstairs in the wrong place .. I am far from perfect. I get lazy
       with other things in my life. I have given up many conveniences.
       I can't just have people over to help fix things I don't really
       keep up with all maintenance because of the threat and very real
       possibility of catching covid or another airborne illness. It
       can be very traumatic attempting to live free from viruses. I
       definitely make sacrifices to stay safer and many people
       probably hate me for that and that's okay. There is fear, anger,
       frustration, and resentment involved in this gamut naturally.
       Ya can't have everything all the time you, he, she, and they
       want it.. Its definitely not an easy task to stay safe... I
       definitely respect and commend those who are attempting to try
       to stay safe.

       Well, we are coming up onto the weekend and onto Halloween
       Let's face it or not face it by wearing a mask, weekends and
       holidays often include pressure for people to hold gatherings
       and risky exposure to contagious illness. If you are like me
       you'll enjoy staying safe at home celebrating creatively in your
       own sweet way. Try not to get depressed as holidays bring a lot
       of people down. Then again I believe it might just be better to
       live through some depression and just allow it rather than kid
       ourselves...
       ...In this day and age I'd say it's often better to endure cabin
       fever than get a real fever.
       A word on depression,
       When I get depressed nowadays I just go with it figuring it is
       healthier to go ahead and live through it rather than try too
       numb it away with booze, drugs, or anything like partying or
       socializing in public .. I just play some blues if I have too
       and leave it that.
       Regardless, Seek help if you ever feel like doing yourself in
       ,are suicidal, or feel like hurting others. For me, the older I
       get I'd rather just feel the depression and survive it than deny
       its reality and cover it up with anything. What works for me
       might not work for everybody, while some depression is
       considered normal some depression is very bad.  For me the older
       I get the more I realize that some of my blues are  healthier
       for me to simply live with than trying all the stuff advertised
       to beat it with or cover it up with. I didn't feel that way when
       I was younger but now I feel most the time if I get down it is
       not the end of the world and its okay for me to simply feel bad
       and that having bad moods and  depression can be somewhat of a
       natural thing and is not completely void of merit or usefulness.
       For me, Ive felt comfortable riding through depressions and the
       gamut of moods figuring they make me a more whole person for
       having experienced them. For me, I simply function better in the
       long run by allowing myself to  experience depression and a
       gamut of moods and feelings. For me I consider some anger to be
       healthy as long as it doesn't hurt anybody and I find certain
       kinds of depression somewhat healthy and normal and serves some
       purpose so long as depression doesn't escalate to something
       totally chronic and severe.
       Note of caution: Keep in mind depression is a serious problem
       for many people and can definitely be dangerous. I'm not
       advising or telling anybody what to do if they are depressed ..
       seek a professional consultation by all means .. by the way
       there are some wonderful Telehealth online solutions available
       where I once participated online therapy without ever leaving
       home.
       This seeking help for depression is a serious issue because many
       of us who take rigorous precautions against catching covid and
       other airborne illness often feel stigmatized by society. We
       maskers tend to avoid group settings and we tend to isolate
       ourselves. To me it would be rare to find a therapist who is
       nearly as rigorous as me insofar as guarding one's health. There
       aren't a lot of those right now that embrace the masked way of
       life as I do. There are those of us that believe a pandemic and
       its repercussions last longer than one year and there of of
       those of us such as myself that believe in not being the prey of
       the vicious cycle of new variants and the other airborne illness
       that are proven to be circulating amongst us.  Not everybody
       believes or wants to believe in the  microscopic entities that
       are currently at play according to the wastewater and the
       scientists microscope.  Therefore to weed out the anti maskers
       and those ignorant of how bad these viruses really are, I think
       online therapy and communication is ideal for those such as
       myself seeking someone to talk to or to seek for therapeutic
       reasons.
       I probably keep my spirits up by doing things like sharing my
       music from the safety of my own home. This is smart given the
       risks are different nowadays than they used to be. Protect
       yourselves  or rather defend yourselves from all the crap that
       is going down in the world by avoiding conflict, keeping to
       yourselves, and not catching airborne illness by taking
       precautions such as masking in public... There's enough problems
       in the world...
       ...I know I am personally much better off socializing and
       sharing things I love remotely online. I love focusing on the
       music and playing music from my bedroom just as much as
       anything.
       Here I am almost 19 minutes of me jamming out on some guitar

       Been a rough week of worrying mostly. Let's just admit it,
       Holidays can be rough.
       Mostly stressed out by things I have to do ..gotta get  X-ray
       for loved one at hospital soon(we mask but its still stressful
       worrying others there don't take enough precautions)... car's
       not up to date with everything.. worried about catching viruses
       at hospital but we will be masked.. but I tell ya it's just darn
       scary when others aren't as careful. Just seems like the world
       is struggling and we sense it.
       Today In December I saw a short video of Data Report and I
       thought he came down with illness today
  HTML https://youtube.com/shorts/6EZ6tU49D2w?si=5IHHuUk3pd7JXXRX
       ...Now I realize that was in November but just thinking Data
       Report was sick today was super hard too and added to my stress!
       I went through a couple days thinking yet another good soul was
       ill... Glad he's okay!
       I slept all day.. just woke up grumpy and worried about
       everything and everybody. Wind blew all day gusts up to 50 Mph
       cold! Brrrrr.. but no trees fell on anything and the shingle I
       worked on recently up on the roof didn't fly away. whew so I
       should be grateful!
       Masked Woman's Gall bladder stones acted up for awhile but she's
       okay now and soon she is having operations. It's just scary. I'm
       worried about her catching something at the hospital. We are
       doing are best to communicate our needs.
       I laid there on bed with loved one until she felt better from
       gall bladder stone. Whew we all have days and challenges and my
       troubles are very few compared to others. I got through the day.
       Fed the cats and dogs..learned I can play checkers online from
       my phone for relaxation and I rehearsed a little in my mind how
       surgery trip will go and how I will try to envision myself not
       so nervous.
       Sometimes everyone probably feels like there's never enough
       time..these are the normal up's and downs I suppose.. Anyway it
       could be much worse for me..a lot of people face far worse.. I
       should be thankful and let's pick up that guitar and play! and
       since I am well, let's try to do a weekend performance just to
       decompress or reduce stress or whatever... I just want everybody
       to be safe this holiday..That's all I want for Christmas...
       It feels like its been awhile since Ive jammed ...might be
       rusty...  so here's goes nothing... Let's try a little hopping
       Blues In A

       As usual I dedicate my little music video  performances to the
       caregivers out there and to those seemingly rare individuals
       that try to stay safe at home and out of the limelight...
       Be safe, if you must go out wear an n95 mask, otherwise stay
       home brothers and sisters.
       I stay at home and jam from my bedroom for ya hoping you will
       share what you love, what interests you, and always try to work
       out problems and even your feelings remotely and creatively
       online!

       Let's take a break from Christmas for fun :) Don't feel guilty
       if you feel like a grinch. Sometimes you need a break from
       Christmas music... we can't be perfect angels all the time we
       are mortal we are only human .. some of us need heavy electric
       guitar music because too much Christmas music can simply make us
       sick!
       Come into my dream world...my fantasy world, plug into a big
       Marshall amplifier , crank it up, and ROCK out on electric
       guitar! Pretend I'm a rock star Yeah! That's the spirit! That's
       how I like to celebrate! Closing my eyes and rocking out!

       ...That guitar in my video reminds me of 2020 and the first time
       I started masking and why I choose a healthy masked way of
       life...
       …This is my five dollar electric guitar from a second hand
       store!    Get a load of this.. I Bought a little guitar part for
       it: a tone control unit/knob for it in 2020 remembering that day
       we were at some bakery wrapping something up with the business
       owner because we had a farmers market bakery and were dealing
       with the bakery...
       …I remember the Bakery lady’s kid was sick supposedly with a tic
       disease but there was something in the back of my mind that
       simply suspected the lady might be lying..
       I don’t know why I thought she might be lying maybe she was
       behaving oddly and maybe she may have not known herself and
       maybe her kid had some sort of flu and then across the street
       was a music store. I remember thinking “I'll just stand far away
       from the guy in the music store when I buy this little 7 dollar
       guitar part because covid was just hitting China big time and
       maybe it was rumored to enter my country in the USA ..
       All I know is that day something inside my gut instinct said “F
       this! I don’t like this feeling of no control .. I wanna take
       control and I don’t wanna get sick” … I’m gonna wear a Mask! I’m
       not going to be a submissive victim! I’m not just going to let
       people make me sick with this new weird disease!
       So that day was the last store I ever went inside to buy
       anything ever in about six years and I’ve been masking for six
       years ever since.
       Something in me said “I just can’t live like that! I can’t live
       wondering if I’m gonna get sick every time the others are
       getting sick..I have a loved one who is older than me.. I don’t
       wanna them to get sick either.. what if this new disease has
       long term repercussions? I thought to myself.. it just ain’t
       worth risking” …  and so from that day forward  Ive been a
       masker.
       I used to have asthma/allergies and had to receive treatments as
       a child.. I don't have amnesia about that experience I had
       living with a respiratory illness therefore I chose to mask to
       prevent reliving anything like that asthma & allergies that I
       used to have. After that childhood ordeal of living with a
       respiratory problems, seems quite reasonable and natural for a
       man of my experience to mask up to prevent prospective
       respiratory viruses such as covid as well as all airborne
       illness and airborne diseases....
       ...I actually wear a mask because I am a hedonist that seeks a
       life of pleasure. You see since the mask actually decreases
       risks and decreases actual illnesses it also helps negate the
       pain, discomfort, and suffering illness (including chronic
       illness) bring. Since illness and chance of illness is reduced
       this in turn reduces anxiety which is also important for sense
       of wellbeing, therefore the mask enhances the pleasures in my
       life by negating many pains and even worries in life. So I wear
       a mask because it negates many ills, pains, and anxiety allowing
       me to live with the most pleasures possible.
       I don’t miss public gatherings or standing in lines shopping for
       things I could simply have delivered to me.. I don’t miss going
       out at all not one bit. We order everything in advance and in
       bulk.. it’s a much better life been doing this and masking for
       six years now and it’s awesome!
       … funny how I never forget that last day I was unmasked and how
       I never wanna be that helpless or weak again ever .. and how I
       decided to never put myself in that position again.. . For me
       the day I chose to mask was like taking matter into my own
       hands..It is my right to defend myself& it was like most of
       society was a cult mostly maskless members just willing to be
       complacent about a virus..I didn't like the weakness, the
       helplessness  and that inability for people to defend themselves
       that I was seeing in the maskless people...To me [b]it was like
       maskless people weren't willing to put up fight to even defend
       themselves.. I'm not like. I'm different. I wanted to rebel and
       fight with everything possible against catching covid for I knew
       in my heart it would carry long term repercussions to catch this
       virus.[/b] It was like a a cult that I had to break away and say
       NO! THIS IS MY BODY I will protect it as I see fit  with a mask
       even if that's not popular with others! I will not just allow a
       virus into my life when others are! I'm not going to pretend
       everything will be okay and I am going to make efforts not to
       catch the virus.. it was then I decided to mask.  I haven't
       caught covid and have been masking ever since! I am glad I
       haven't caught covid and don't have to worry as much about the
       long term repercussions of catching a novel disease. It feels
       good to be a masker! Nice ‘n’ safe!
       Having gotten into the habit of always publicly masking is like
       not being an alcoholic or being hooked on drugs in a sense
       because you aren’t a slave to illness. You wake up knowing you
       aren’t sick and don’t have to pursue treatments or more drugs…
       Masking is even like living off the grid in that a masked person
       doesn't have to deal with the crud a maskless person has to.
       When covid era hit it was a good incentive to mask and it stuck
       with me ,,again it really boils down to having discipline and
       control..The Mask allows me to control whether I get sick or not
       in this world.
       The Masked Man is off the illness grid! These illnesses, the
       money , the time and the treatments add up for many of us..it
       can knock you out financially overnight being sick... we'd don't
       get paid back for getting sick. Being sick will put you in debt
       and in the poor house or even onto the streets. Some of us can't
       afford to miss a week or two of anything.
       Not too mention who wants to deal with risks of long term
       repercussions or deal with an illness on top of preexisting
       illnesses or problems we already have? You got a little problem
       and then get covid or pneumonia on top of that you might not
       even live. It's just easier to mask rather than worry. Then if
       you have a loved one .. you don't want them infected as I am
       sure they have enough problems as we all do...I'd never sleep if
       I didn't mask with all the crud going down nowadays.
       Not only do I mask for myself I also am masking for others so I
       don't make my loved ones sick. I am a caregiver to person who is
       77 and I don't think she deserves any contagious illnesses
       whatsoever..we have everything we need like indoor pets, music,
       dancing, food, masked walks outdoors... I'm  pretty happy with
       the health we have.. I just wanna maintain it.
       …Masking  makes me stronger and more independent that way..
       masking just frees you of perils and troubles .. For me masking
       is a powerful tool and it’s really helped me dodge a lot of
       unhealthy problems others have not been so lucky to dodge.
       Anyway I am well & I always get a thrill rocking out for ya
       online!
       Keep On Rocking!
