Coronavirus Cancellation

The Robert Ross Band
My solo gig at Vinos On Gault Mile in Fort Lauderdale is cancelled for obvious reasons. I've gotten a few other cancellations already. And so it starts. We're all in this together. Now's the time when our federal government is supposed to help people, that's what government is for, and now more than ever. The ideas of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson in the past, and Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Andrew Yang now should be resonating deeply with people. We NEED to take care of each other in order to protect OURSELVES and government is the best system ever conceived to do just that. If it's run by people who actually are compassionate, competent, and represent We The People of The United States of America rather than just the multi-national corporations. 
Be safe out there. Follow the simple CDC guidelines of frequent vigorous hand washing with soap and water; when not at home use a good hand sanitizer; don't touch your face until your hands are clean; and employ sensible social distancing. And if you don't feel well don't go to work, avoid people so you don't infect anybody else.
