Good on you. You can teach your son some valuable perspective, while getting in some quality time as well. Please let us know how it goes, if you don't mind. I feel invested now.

Another update: Seeleeu Leipoldt replied to my Facebook message yesterday. He says all he wants is songwriting credit. So it's going on the album. I'll post a link here when it's ready to publish.
Okay, so I sent an email to Eckard Potgieter, but he has not replied. I also found the Seeleeu Leipoldt Band on Facebook and sent them a message, but I didn't get a reply from them either. So I guess it's not happening any time soon. God, I hate copyright. It's just so frustrating. But either way, the album is going forward, and I already have ten songs recorded for it. I'll definitely post it to this group when I release it.
I did send him an email, but I haven't had a response yet. I'll keep you updated if he gets back to me.
Thank you so much. This really helps me. You are a godsend.
Also, I would like to say that this is why I love Lemmy. The community is just so much friendlier and more empathetic than a place like Reddit. Thank you for reinforcing my perception.
Thank you for being sincere in this reply; you could easily have gotten defensive. And sorry if my reply seemed overly snarky. I'm not very good at social media.
I had a budget, Lenovo in my country was having a massive sale, and this is my first Thinkpad, so I have nothing to compare it to.
Also,
It used to be very popular, so I don't know if this qualifies, but I watch a lot of noir and neo-noir. Specifically, I like the ones told from the criminal's perspective. Films like Double Indemnity, Body Heat and The Postman Always Rings Twice are great places to start.
