Thanks, Kenny-

Really happy to hear that; and always nice to leave the "3rd party"
types behind. I'll check Amazon for these later this week. You
might post an "official" announcement here on this site as to just
when things are in place for fans to order these titles, or perhaps
even a direct link to the Amazon posting from your site here would
be helpful and cool. Sorry to hear the news about John Stewart's
passing yesterday; your work with Michael remains among my favorites. Have a great show in Redondo Beach this evening.

Best always,
Rick Williams
