In this episode of Quarantine Stories, we spoke with Ernie Rideout, a bay area musician who runs the Stanford Jazz Education Program, as he recalls his father's heroic journey of survival in WWII to help him convalesce from an injury during quarantine. We also spoke with actor Eric Edelstein who voices Grizz, the main character of popular animated show We Bear Bears. Looking for a way to get through by helping others, he began recruiting fellow voice actors to read stories to kids on Instagram. Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne musician Adam Wakeman recalls almost being stranded on tour in South America as the COVID-19 quarantine orders began.
