About Long Time Coming My vision of the future for Long Time Coming was is various websites devoted to their specific items of interest, ranging all across the spectrum. Obviously, each specific item must grab my attention, or else it wouldn't be here in the first place. ~~As for now, I'm envisioning more Long Time Coming sites devoted to other historical and musical interests. All in all, they will be a terrible conglomerate of things unrelated.~~ There will be no new longtimecoming sites until until vast amounts of free time materialize.
