This year, my mother died in a retirement home from COVID, and I got the dreadful COVID plague again in Texas. I was out of my mind, thinking that the two Texans who came to deliver propane for the RV were there to kill me like the two men in the 1940s black and white movie called THE KILLERS. I gave them a $10 tip after they were done with the propane, and they said, βThank you, good sir, God bless!β in their quaint Texan accents. So out of all this confusion and misery, I wrote a blues song about COVID. Hope you like it.

Great song but brings back bad memories. πππ
Gave it a π!
Thanks, stars & stripes forever. Yeah, it brings back bad memories, but I have to express some crap feeling too. Music is a good way to cleanse yourself.
Thanks again!
Add a link or two of your other songs to the thread. You’re a good musician.
I liked it. Gave it a thumbs up.
My condolences about your mother. :(
Thanks, Allegra.

Thanks, Bob434.
sorry about the loss of your mom. prayers for you and family.
Thank you, b4me. The irony is that my mom didn’t die at the height of the Covid season, but in February. They didn’t have any monitoring or surveillance in place. So you never know what is about to befall you. Thank you again.
thumbs up! Condolences for the loss of your dear Mom, and glad you made it thru yourself to continue to compose great music for us :)
Thank you ever so much, blueplum! I am speechless. Such kind feelings!
Do any of these people look like those Texas propane installers?
No. One was an older guy and the other was a bit younger. The older guy had a mustache. This was in Anahuac.
"King of the Hill" is about an extremely square propane salesman and his eccentric family and neighbors in Texas.
Very good song; glad you survived to sing about it.
