Yes, it's been a long while. I, too, have been away from Steemit for days at a time. But now, I'm back at it, creating many future posts and trying to post 5-6 times / week.

Glad you appreciate the music. This one is truly a great song, and a great cover version.

As for Steemfest, I'm still undecided. I've been having a bit of a cash-crunch, so I'm not sure if I can afford to go. But if I'm lucky enough to make a earn a bit of profit over the next few weeks, I'll definitely consider going.

Do you have any plans to attend?
Cheers!
