Hi there, thought I'd let you know what's happening with the Rick CD release. I got a call from Paul Mills this morning and he told me that the CD should be ready in two or three weeks, which is really fast work by Borealis and great news.

I guess all you folks who said you wanted to be first on your block to have "Acoustic Workshop could send me a PM and I'll start addressing envelopes and sticking stamps.

It looks like there will be a virtual release CD party at the Borealis Records offices, with a remote broadcast from Acoustic Workshop, CIUT FM, 89.5. We'll be able to take phone calls and get e-mails from listeners so it'll be interactive, but you'll have to supply your own wine and cheese and blow up your own balloons.

Many thanks to Borealis (Bill, Grit and Linda) for all the extra effort they've taken to get this CD out so quickly, and more thanks to Paul, just because.

Heather
