When the COVID-19 pandemic shut down most of the world, my wife was assigned to the COVID Unit at our local hospital as one of its nurses. The horrors that she witnessed and the stress it caused her took a toll that our children and I had to witness from six feet a way and through a mask. After a few weeks, I wrote “The COVID Floor” while sitting in my den. After playing it for my daughter, she insisted that I share it. I played it for a friend who also insisted that I share it. So, I grabbed my guitar and recorded an acoustic version sitting in my den and shared the video social media. The response was overwhelming. I was getting messages and phone calls from people I had not talked to in years. My sister, who is also a nurse, called to tell me that the song had her in tears.” After that, I gathered some folks to record this in the studio.
