Phil & Friends "bubble"

I'm fairly certain that Phil would love to be on a stage playing live music, but the guy is at the very top of most susceptible people to die if catching the plague, so if he's smart he'll continue laying around Marin County, relying on the money he's earned through his skill & effort<<<

I agree about Phil being extremely vulnerable and certainly not suggesting that he owes us anything, but if for some reason he's really itching to make something happen that he could feel safe about, why not consider a really stringent "bubble" paradigm with other musicians who might be in the same boat who he could trust?    Forget about Shappy, let Phil and the inner circle devise the plan and call the shots.  Keep it really small and everyone signs off on it in blood!  No roadies even, let alone "last minute Levi's" (who worked on Bobby's electrical or whatever)  get let in.

I'm sure Peter Rowan, Dave Nelson, Bobby, etc. aren't looking to get knocked down by this either ... although I can see how it quickly becomes a can of worms.

The TXR thing was surprising to me as well, but was thinking more along the lines of a TRI sort of thing where it's just the musicians and someone running sound +their significant others / immediate family who have also agreed to the terms of the bubble ... which gets broadcast outward.  At least the bubble can be contained in a closed setting vs. public venue where all bets are off. 

There have been regular small outdoor gigs in Telluride on main street where there's outdoor dining area.  I've wandered into a few of them, but haven't been able to stay planted for more than 10-15 minutes before feeling the need to leave.  I see people that I know who are "close talkers" in normal times; hugging without masks & know that these sorts of gatherings can quickly throw social curveballs that can be challenging to contend with.   I can only imagine the curveballs someone such as Phil might encounter along these lines.

I suspect the risk/reward is skewed against him, by the same token wonder if under the right circumstances the reward could outweigh well-mitigated risks for the right people in a closed environment?  At this stage and on more realistic terms, I'm assuming the "right people" would be his immediate family & it's easily the most controllable situation.
