Just was inspired to do this song after watching Elvis Presley's Blue Hawaii.

Very nice! I recognize that arrangement, I think...did you by chance learn that from Basil Henriques' video lesson (of Barney Isaacs' version of the tune)? I did, anyway (and I don't bother with the key change either ha!).

Aloha Joe,

I used some idea's from it, like the turnaround, and the move from the C chord to the A7th which I liked, but I kept many parts the way I played it at my gig.

My co-workers laughed when they seen the title of this song because of the bad timing with the ongoing pandemic.
