[Edited to add: found a glitch in my system and downloaded a new sound card driver and now the problem seems solved. Listened to the entire reply and
must say again, thank you, Freedom, for the kind words. It's very satisfying to know that my experiences and take on life touched you and gave you
pause to think. Thank you for taking the time to record your reply.]
