      I agree with the others. I'd rather you take your time and work out your magic, as I don't care when it's done specifically.

      Better not to rush. Take your time and be pleased with your work. I personally don't care when it is completed; I know it will be great.

      hi, this is exciting. You are so unique; your music is extraordinary.
      I have backed this as a gift for someone else, is there a way to put it in his name?
      Thank you
