COVID BLUES
COVID BLUES - YouTube ^ | BEJ

Posted on 09/19/2025 4:22:57 PM PDT by BEJ

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, β€œThank you, good sir, God bless!” in their quaint Texan accents. So out of all this confusion and misery, I wrote a blues song about COVID. Hope you like it.

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.

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.

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.

You must be one of those FReepers who hasn't watched TV since the Gulf War or thereabouts.

"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.
