Hey, Ron:

No, it's an illusion. Not everybody on Mudcat has the Gospel Messengers CD. It's available through cd baby on the internet, but I'm selling it for less to Mudcat members... $10 + $3 for shipping & handling. It's $13 + S @ H on cd baby.

What's been fascinating to me is that a reviewer for several british blues magazines liked it alot, listening to samples on cd baby and wanted a copy to review. And, someone with a blues program on radio in Poland liked it and asked for a copy as well. I hadn't thought of a blues venue as a place to send copies, but I guess I'd better re-think things.

For our canadian friends, when we were in Vermont, we drove north to the Canadian border, and turned around before crossing the border. The entrance check is a mile or so inside the U.S. border, and we had to go through customs, even though we hadn't gone to Canada. We explained what we had done and they asked a few questions and let us through without a problem.

And as for beans.. I struck up a conversation at the airport with someone scanning our luggage and he said the most suspicious object to avoid bringing into this country is peanut butter. It has the same consistency as plastic explosives. So, if you're planning on bringing in gourmet peanut butter from England, think twice, it ain't alright..

Who would thunk?
