I formed a family band with my son Stevie (age 12) during the 2020 covid lockdown.  Those were dark and sadly divided days for our nation.  This is our prayer, for your family and ours, and for the country.  This song is is called The Lockdown.

Lyrics:

I can’t fight back anymore
We’re driving through crowds, mowing each other down
To get back to where we were before

The viruses that spread, 
remind me of hatred... when is the part 
where when get great again

If the virus don’t get you maybe your countrymen will

This is the lockdown, who owns the country, who owns the town?
This is the lockdown, I guess we’re all gonna find out now
Are you blue are you red?  Are you live are you dead?  
Are you lucky and safe?  Are you sad and amazed 
At just how frickin’ crazed everyone is these days, 
This is not what I wanted my sons to have

Murder hornets fly,
Stores closing down, no one goes out,
Kobe and Boz, both of them down

What chance for you and I,
Stay out of crowds, stay in the house,
Now it’s the hospitals where everyone dies 

And don’t watch tv, ‘cause this ain’t fake news, 
Our real sickness is showing now

This is the lockdown, who’s losing jobs, who’s funds are down?
This is the lockdown, two hundred thousand and counting now
Will you live, will you die?  Will your dad, will your wife,
Will your kids, will your friends, ‘cause when everything ends,
These were all of your reasons why
This is the lockdown

I can’t take much more, I can’t only lose
I can’t lose my job, and I can’t lose my cool, 
I can’t lift these burdens that are falling on you,
I can’t lose it all, and I can’t lose you too
This is the lockdown
 
Please keep us safe, please keep us strong 
I swear I’ll live better, just let me live long
I swear I’ll live faithful, I swear I’ll live true
But I still need more time, for the things I must do
 
This is the lockdown, this is just me and you

There is nothing more glam than fam.
