I met with J T at Fresh Coast Studio and we discussed free image editors and the usage of Lunapic in sizing my photos and banners on Linkedin. I was given the homework assignment to do so.

I'm just loving  these free style learning  sessions that J T and I are having on the spot because I need to know the information practically in the moment.  We discussed how I can only forwarded limited size email documents by various size bites. We forwarded the track "Drip Drop Tic Toc" to Chris Johnson through my Sound Cloud  Account who wanted an established producer to give it a listen.  In  addition we made certain my Godaddy email site was secured.  It should be mentioned since we last met Heddy Keith and I tentatively have scheduled a Veterans Day release date for my self published book titled "Lyric Line Thinking  Out Loud Is Anyone Listening."

Again, I'm just loving these free style teachable moments learning on the fly. Jeff Taylor just blows my mind every time we meet. LOL He introduced me to Band-In- A- Box https;//www.bandinabox.com/ software used by music arrangers. Then the incredibly amazing Welch Drum Tuning System at https://www.welchtuningsystem.com in which a drummer can tune their entire kit within approximately 30 minutes.  Jeff Taylor is their first products representative in the country and can be contacted at Fresh Coast Media freshcoast.com . In addition J T helped address several messages from Godaddy.
