Glad I found your post! I agree it is much easier to produce a song now, and all the tears and frustration that we had to do years ago has paved the way for them. I guess we have to be happy about that! :D I try my best to be nice about it. I consider myself retired as well. Now I cheer them on while dazzled by their talents. Hope you find your place here on Steemit. Glad to see you in the Steemit Music Alliance.
