Rooted in South Florida....
All the planned winter shows in New England have been cancelled as well.
The New Hampshire show is scheduled for last weekend of March and we're going to hang on until mid Feb as our cut-off date to cancel.
History from the past 2 years has us hoping the virus will have "burned through" by then and we'll be OK.
All I know is that I'm sick of this damn thing! Which I suspect is better than being sick with it.
