Well, I did not mention the part in the podcast that made me laugh the hardest because it reflected some things going on in my own life at this point and I wanted to let people discover that themselves. I was sort of excited by the idea that David has joined us on the East Coast thinking that, well, if he ever straps on a guitar in a public setting again I will find it much easier to turn up to see that. However, it seems the only way that might happen is if I drive the couple hours out there and turn up in his yard with a bullhorn and a lighter and make a lot of noise until he comes outside and tells me to get the hell off his lawn.
I did once get the longest hug of my life in Kingston, NY when one night after a show at Levon's house this pretty blonde woman decided she was going to hug me. It turned into one of those really awkward moments where the hug just kept going...I mean like minutes were passing and I was wondering am I supposed to stop hugging first? Is she waiting for me to pull away? Then things like "Jesus did she pass out?" Being a polite guy I did not want to break the hug sooner than she wanted so I just kept hugging. I finally decided I have to make a move and I grabbed her by the shoulders and gently moved her back so I could see her face, to see if she was still awake, and she looked at me briefly and then pushed forward back into the hug. I let this go on a while longer and then I whispered to her, "Is everything alright?" and she said "Oh yes, wonderful." and this went on until someone finally came over and interrupted to call her over to the bar. Otherwise I may still be in Kingston. Anyway, when you mentioned hugging David I thought maybe he'll run into her and get the "Kingston hug" but I am not sure if that is going on now with Covid. Probably "Kingston hugging" has been banned.
On the Covid stuff...I am at this point guessing you are correct and we had it, Mick. It seems like a lot more people had it than we currently know about. I was lucky I guess as for me it played out as a minor cold, I pretty much knocked the bugger around pretty good with a lot of liquor...perhaps I had the virus so drunk it could not figure out which way was up.
Don't be too hard on our Danish pal, he probably owns a Viking sword that is taller than you.
