November in Australia in New Zealand it's um this is 24/7 with them and it's fantastic I mean I'm saying that after week check on me in about three weeks the thing I feel terrible about from my point of view um visiting so via the the musicians that play for a living and need to earn

money for a living to buy food and pay the rent and also the auxilary things around them like the road crew the lighting the sound the venue's the people who work at the venues that's the saddest thing so many people are now losing their jobs and they can't afford to leave their jobs they live from hand

3:25
family enjoy this at the time when people are gonna spend more time in their families than they've ever done before and and so far again check with me in two weeks I'm enjoying it so much because I I don't spend that much time with my family during the day and I'm loving every second of it so cherish it
