Pete,

 

Thank you for your email. Well that's a great question, and one that I
expect one will be asked a lot as I progress further. Who has 24 years
planned out for their creative projects, let alone the next 3 years? I'm
hoping to avoid myself being my own cover band like some popular bands today
(Metallica, Guns N' Roses are the primary bands that comes to mind). So, I
figured if I give myself a timeline to fit my expected releases into,
hopefully I can be able to keep my creative bottle filled (so-to-speak),
versus having it run-out and still attempting to release new material. I
hope that makes sense! Thank you again!

Okay, I'll bite. Why 24 years? That might be about right for me, since I am
75.

Keep your horizons long!

Now I am off to listen to the music....

I'm glad you like GIMP and found it useful. I believe the GIMP developers
will appreciate a donation, but, naturally, you are not obligated to make
one.

Good luck, and Happy New Year!

Thanks for the link. I downloaded the album (without paying) and I am going
to
listen to it. If I like it enough, then I may make a donation.

Regards,

core
developer).
