Well it seems that I have been missing in action on updating my blog, but I'm back. As I sit here and try to put into words what it has been like to be out of work for over a year due to Covid, I am actually at a loss for words.
To be totally honest it really sucks to be away from my love and passion of directing live shows and concerts. I did however direct the International Emmy Awards (virtual) in November 2020. Directing that show made me realize how much I missed working. I don't think I will ever be happy in retirement.
2020 started out to be an amazing year as I was busier than ever and loving life. After I directed "Keep Memory Alive" is Las Vegas the pandemic took full effect and shut everything down. I was now semi retired. The only positive part of this ordeal is that I am collecting unemployment so financially all is good.
In late August our entertainment community lost a giant in our industry. Dan Parisi was probably one of the most influential producers in the business. He died suddenly in California due to a massive heart attack. It was devestating to all that knew him. There was a tribute paid to him by Madison Square Garden. (below)

It's been 8 months since Dan passed and it still seems sureal. R.I.P. Dan
