Usually not my cup of tea, but the city of
Aachen/Germany produced a clip as a tutorial
with a heartwarming song by Austrian singer
Udo Jürgens, sung by men and women of the police,
fire department, ambulances etc.

Immer, immer wieder geht die Sonne auf
Und wieder bringt ein Tag für uns ein Licht,
Ja, immer, immer wieder geht die Sonne auf,
Denn Dunkelheit für immer gibt es nicht,
Die gibt es nicht, .die gibt es nicht.


The sun rises again and again,
and again a day brings light for us,
yes, always, the sun rises again and again,
because there is no darkness forever,
there is no such thing, there is no such thing.

Cannot meet some friends for dinner?
What about a dinner for one?

A lot of people are playing Ludwig van Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" on their balconies theses days. And a lot of firefighters like it playing it high upon their hometowns.

Tremendously negative ... [www.youtube.com]

John Oliver´s update on coronavirus, part IV:

Each morning I send out 2 emails to about 20 people: a "Feel good song of the day" and a "Rolling Stones song of the day" to try and brighten someone's day a little.

Praying for our world!

What are your 2 songs for today then?

No political pun or whatsoever intended, but just a bit of contemplation, unknown source:


We fell asleep in one world, and woke up in another.

Suddenly Disney is out of magic,
Paris is no longer romantic,
New York doesn't stand up anymore,
the Chinese wall is no longer a fortress, and Mecca is empty.

Hugs & kisses suddenly become weapons, and not visiting parents & friends becomes an act of love.

Suddenly you realise that power, beauty & money are worthless, and can't get you the oxygen you're fighting for.

The world continues its life and it is beautiful. It only puts humans in cages. I think it's sending us a message:

"You are not necessary. The air, earth, water and sky without you are fine. When you come back, remember that you are my guests. Not my masters."

Ok, here we go:


Houston, TX (dpo) - That will teach them a lesson! For the first time, scientists at the University of Texas have succeeded in infecting bats with a strain of human flu. Researchers hope that the infection will spread quickly and soon become a global pandemic.
“We started our research as soon as it became clear that coronavirus had jumped from bats to humans,” explains Professor Ian Levitchov. “It was clear to us that what humanity needed now was revenge, sweet revenge, and it appears that we have achieved that.”
The researchers have now managed to infect five bats with the influenza virus. “The animals appeared lethargic, coughed frequently and showed an increase in body temperature,” Prof. Levitchov is pleased to report. “An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. That is what I have to say on the matter.”
The medical expert has no sympathy for the infected animals. “They should have thought about that before they transmitted the coronavirus to humans. Did they really think we would just sit back and take it?”
Those bats suffering with the flu are now due to be released into the wild on several continents as quickly as possible. In the best-case scenario, they will infect other members of their species, triggering a pandemic in the medium term with the potential to kill hundreds of thousands of bats.
The researchers’ hopes appear realistic: in most countries, bats have not established healthcare systems and they have no early warning systems or action plans in place for pandemics whatsoever.
“They have absolutely no idea what is about to hit them,” smiles Prof. Levitchov. “They will be caught completely off guard. That is what you get when you tangle with humanity!”

"LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — The Getty Museum has challenged its Twitter followers
to recreate some iconic works of art, leading to some impressive and
hilarious results.

The museum has challenged people staying “Safer-At-Home” to recreate
famous works of art using three objects and people inside their homes.

Some people who accepted the challenge have used the laundry and paper
bags, while others opted for boxes and left-over food.

Feel like participating? Just tag the Getty Museum on Twitter."

Here’s my Lockdown Lyrics (need music and video)
And, picture this in your imagination for best results:

Groundhog’s Day

Every day’s the same
It’s still Groundhog’s Day
The alarm goes off
Sonny and Cher blare
“I got you babe”

But, I ain’t got you, babe
‘Cause we’re in a lockdown
Can’t go about town
Unless it’s for essential business

But, you’re my essential business, baby
I don’t care what they say
Only problem is
You’re so far away

Can’t get there by car
Can’t get there by train
I need a plane

But the planes aren’t flyin’
Inside, I’m dyin’
Dyin’ to see you, baby

But, baby’s on lockdown!

Spoken: I’m coming to see you
I’m coming to see you, babe
“I got you babe”
Got my mask and gloves
Hand sanitizer and toilet paper rations
Can’t wait to see your reaction

...Ohhh.....maybe we should just Zoom.
(Cough a little here)

That’s all I got. Somebody else add the music.
