Frank Manzi plays at Papa Bob’s Entertainment Hall on August 15, 2020, in Chester, MA, the first concert I attended after all the closures during Covid-19. This was a gathering of families and couples, following the rules of wearing masks and maintaining social distance, while enjoying songs by a performer who said to me, “I’ve really missed singing in settings like this.” ©Mark D Phillips
