The COVID-19 Virus Pandemic is really affecting the local music community. At the present time, gatherings of more than 10 people are not permitted for 15 days. That means gigs were suddenly cancelled and musicians who rely on those shows are essentially out of work. Local musician Munk Duane stops by WATD to share his music, but also to talk about how this is affecting him personally and what other musicians can do to survive in these weird and difficult times.
