Thanks for your thoughtful comment.  

And yeah, I am given to writing longer posts LOL, but that's just a part of me.  Some will be more concise, but when I am passionate about something, I just keep going on about it.  ;-)

As for "my kind of music," that's a pretty wide ranging and eclectic mix.  I have posted about a lot of different styles of music on Steemit alone, not to mention elsewhere on the web over the years.  And I will continue to do so.

As for the healing power of music, I completely concur, which was one of the reasons for this post.  I was feeling particularly down, and trying to get my head straight again, which is what brought me to musical comedy: laughter is the best medicine, as they say, and what better than having it set to music?  ;-)

Sorry for your past ordeals, and mine, but in the end, it is what made us the people we are, and I for one wouldn't trade that.  

You and I come from a long line of survivors.  It is up to us to pass that mindset along to the next generation, and the next.

STEEM on, my friend.  Thanks for being you.
