To all the affected by covid,
Here's Masked Man's 
safe stay at home remote online performance and Musical Tribute to Elvis Costello and his band!

Hope you have a successful recovery. Also perhaps more precautions and preventative measures will protect you in the future.

Masked Man plays electric guitar and tries to sing Costello's "Pump It Up" from his safe little bedroom studio and encourages people and rockers to rock out from home online

P.S Masked Man Commentary:
I believe Elvis Costello also has had other health issues.. I can’t help but feel many of these musicians are ‘overdoing it’ for their own sake. I’m simply concerned that catching covid is deadly because it is exasperated by other problems and exasperates the other problems .. to me if you have cancer or anything else combined with covid, it could take it’s toll.. even long covid will play a deadly hand combined with pneumonia for instance .

Anyway my philosophy is to not to die doing something you love but rather “live by doing something different. I just feel it’s better to “live doing something you like” rather than die from something you love. These musicians are like athletes and politicians they simply don’t know how to work from the safety of their own home. The stage is highly overrated and for me it’s about longevity being creative in the home studio is where the healthy fun is.

I can’t help but think my favorite rock stars would simply live longer rockin’ from home and not catching contagious illnesses .. it would be neat to hear these rock stars crank out new material as well composing and performing online. They  might add 10 to 20 more creative musical years onto their career by working from home in my opinion because contagious illnesses on the road play such a factor in death.
