A Texas Vision: Life During & After COVID-19 – An Interview with Gary P. Nunn
<p>If you haven’t heard already, I’m very pro-mask when it comes to the things we should all be doing out of concern for our fellow Texans. Folks who want to steer the conversation down the dead end street of who is forcing whom are missing the point: we’re called to love one another and donning a mask is a simple, meaningful way to do that and get our economy back on track.</p> <p>Turns out a legendary Texas musician feels the same way. I was honored to spend time with Gary P. Nunn today to talk about his idea for a Texas Maskuerade Party. As a performer in the danger zone of vulnerability to the effects of the virus, he understands the risk of playing in enclosed clubs for fans who are themselves inching upward on the age scale, if you will.</p> <p>I hope you enjoy our conversation and take a moment to consider the possibility that masks aren’t about what you HAVE to do, but are actually something you’ll be HONORED to do, to protect your fellow Texans and resurrect our economy.</p> <p>To learn more about their organization, visit <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Texas-Maskuerade-Party-101912774861100" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/Texas-Maskuerade-Party-101912774861100</a> and join us in showing how compassionate Texans look out for one another.</p> <p><a href="https://www.dennisbonnen.com/gary-p-nunn/">https://www.dennisbonnen.com/gary-p-nunn/</a></p>
