National Doctors’ Day is a day celebrated to recognize the contributions of physicians to individual lives and communities.

This is so important now because of the Covid-19/Coronavirus situation. I would also extend this to other healthcare workers and first responders who are going above and beyond the call of duty. You are all super heroes this and everyday. Thank you all the healers everywhere around the world.

Country Music Legend Joe Diffie 1958-2020 – Coronavirus Claims Another Talent

Joe Diffie was one of those country music artist who was one hell of a storyteller. I first appreciated country music in the 1990’s when I was in college and Diffie was one of those guys that was big on the scene at the time. I really liked how he was able to sing songs that were funny, relatable and that could speak to ones soul.

He passed away on March 29th due to complications from Coronavirus. He will be missed but he will always be a part of the great history of the genre. This song is kind of ironic and I imagine he would want to be propped up beside a jukebox.
