Masked Man commentary:
I think it is important for all of us to work together and meet
one another online (rather than In person face to face during
outbreaks or pandemics) in these challenging days or any day for
that matter. I want to see a world where people don’t have to
leave their house to communicate and collaborate with one
another effectively and in meaningful ways.
I think this is the way of the future to safely communicate with
one another online! I think there are excellent tips in here for
meeting one another remotely in line .. to me it’s important for
people to connect to one another online and here are some great
pointers in this Mark Bowden program on virtual workshops

Invitation Letter to local sheriff to mask up and play Piano
with Masked Man on guitar in safe secluded church dining room
after hours...
Okay so keeping on the theme of 'Working with others virtually
and remotely' here's another attempt to arrange things from a
safe distance in advance online setting boundaries for those
like me that like to plan out masking and precautions in
advance...
Its' an online invitation letter..I'm trying to make
arrangements for to play music with somebody. My local sheriff
likes to play piano and he helped end some out of control
party/riot/raves in my neighborhood which consisted of tons of
out of town drunks attending after game football parties ..it
was totally out of control as that house hosting the event did
not have the capacity to hold such large amount of people and
events on my street.
I try to get the local sheriff to mask up to play piano in an
empty church dining room with me the Masked Man on guitar. I
feel this is a gift I can give the Sheriff after he helped me on
my street... I also explain to him a little about my pre
pandemic days at the farmers market and my successful post
pandemic present Masking days
"Dear Sheriff,
"You put on n95 mask for me.. find a place like a nearby empty
church that has a piano, I'll ride my bicycle with guitar around
my back and we will jam for an hour or so man. Ive played guitar
with anybody and everybody at all levels.Music is my life and
music saves my life...Whatever you play I go along for the ride
and improvise. I always enjoy playing. You arrange that to
happen where there is no gathering , just you and me wearing
masks somewhere like an empty church with a piano and we'll jam!
I'd just use my nylon string guitar so I don't have to plug in
or carry anything heavy... we'll just get lost in the sounds
messing around ..super relaxing.. music soothes the savage
beast... music lifts the spirit ..so keep that in mind if you
ever need to alter reality or do something different to keep
sanity that you can go jam on piano and if you arrange it I'll
jam with ya too!
Have a great day brother,
Masked Man
You plink and I pluck...
I'm not too keen on playing indoors but I'd probably be the most
comfortable at
D**rfield United Methodist Church
1**4 Deerfield Road **ne, NC 286*7
Pastor W*s A*stin would probably unlock the door for us..
there's some tall ceilings in a large dining room like area and
a piano in there.. The ceilings are pretty high and it's
spacious in there so we'd feel fairly safe jamming in there if
we both wore masks ...
Pastor W*s A*stin would let us use that whole area to ourselves.
Here's some footage of old pre pandemic farmers Market days...
You probably aren't as good on piano as this kid is on
kazoo..lol

Ha! Those were the pre pandemic days for me anyway.. a mixed bag
of thorny roses … On the one hand it was an incredible
experience to be a part of something .. the farmers market was
very special and meaningful for me because it was beautiful and
meaningful to me but on the other hand after so many years it
was bearing us up!
That was super hard being a baker .. My loved one and I would
lose two nights a week baking all night only to transport all
those goods and pitch tents the next day.. I started to get
scared her little heart would give out staying up all night then
staying up the next selling baked goods all day in all weather.
My loved one is getting up there in age (77 years old now but in
relative good health)
Farmers market was very special it was like my family. Very
special but even behind the pictures those we’re sleepless
nights of pressure to bake enough goods and it would have killed
her at the pace she goes… I dare
say thank god we don’t get everything we wish for in this world
because if we did it would probably kill us. Aren't ya glad ya
don't get half the things you wish for in life because half the
times we are wrong? lol Secretly it’s good covid came along
forcing me to rethink our hard path and making me realize we
must retire. We wouldn’t have stopped otherwise and my loved one
would have overdone it and also caught covid.
imagine if, you will having the Midas touch.. that’s what we
have: everything we touched was turning to gold.. well we simply
had to stop touching everything.. lol.. That's too much
success! So we retired.
That was then; that was the old days the pre pandemic days
before I masked:
juggling for the people

I'm grateful but now I move on towards the sunset and stay close
to the one I love ...
… I had a calling... I retrained myself in the mask , for a
while people wore masks.. I delivered baked goods in my mask
until others stopped wearing masks. People care more about
appearances and their looks than their health.. then I bought
everything in bulk so almost overnight … had to draw the line
and create boundaries with overly friendly pushy neighbors and
had to lay down the law .. I unlearned all the things mom taught
me like being too nice to strangers .. simply created
psychological boundaries probably similar to boundaries law
enforcement might have to embrace when dealing with parties that
are in conflict with one another… pretty tough I guess not being
able to dance and play with the others .. had to cut off anybody
and everybody who didn’t take my personal boundaries as
seriously for my sake and my loved one’s sake.
D**rfield United Methodist was my loved one's (Masked Woman's)
church where she sang in choir.. that was her extended family we
had to give up when covid hit .. she had to give up swimming..
but she's alive and kickin! we Dance and walk and sheprobably
has more energy than me!
We do the best we can brother! I became a protector.. found the
inner discipline to not be a sitting duck and not take crap off
anybody.. no superficial b.s. so far I created a pretty good
system for us that’s worked thus far I am healthier now even
more before! . I look forward to meeting others who take
advantage of the mask and honor and share similar values and a
code of conduct that I embrace.
So let's rock! and be grateful that you're not my pal in the pen
but that Ive got you for a pen pal ;)
So this is now:
I have clarity now and so much to be grateful I get to rock out
from my safe den... This is awesome brother..
