I added a few new titles to the btv on-line store, including Unwed Sailor : The Marionette and The Music box in hardbound book/CD, LP, and regular CD formats and The Trouble with Sweeney : I Know You Destroy!

Matthew will be taking care of mail orders and with the G4, I’ll be able to keep btv going from afar. :::scott:::
