I"m really glad that 2018 is behind us. Frankly it was a tough year for me. I'm glad it's gone. Seeing Pop taken to the hospital in an ambulance (again) is something I hope to skip in 2019.
I hope to do wads more Guest Solos in 2019 and then to put all the tracks on iTunes/Spotify etc. and compile them at the end of the year as an E.P. which will be free of course

Music has become a commodity for most people. sadly, it's not something many/most/wads of/a bunch of/ people are willing to pay money for. Thankfully there are still some/a few/good people/gmcers/friends of gmcers that will still pay for music. I"m guessing one of them will reply to confirm this.
For the the rest of the people/preponderance/biggest portion/ I also see where they are coming from so all my music will be available free in some form. Even if it's also available for purchase on itunes.
I feel the pain of those who still want to charge for music, however, the world has changed. In order to stay relevant, I usually change with it do some degree. But I will never change some things. I will always SHRED. I will always play METAL.

I don't care if it's fashionable or not. I do it because I love doing it. That's the secret to life I've found.
