Following the theme of Three Chord Thursdays at Three 12-Bar Blues, let’s share songs about the current pandemic in twelve-bar blues form, as part of the Friday Songs in the Time of Corona series. There are various so-called “Covid Blues” out on Youtube. Maybe this will inspire you to write your own.
Please wear something BLUE — the more BLUE the better!
