Howdy...

Not much to say this week, but know 3 things:

1. We're extremely pleased about the launch of our Think Indie Digital. Pick your favorite store and get signed up.

2. Our NARM schedule is pretty much filled. There will still likely be some opportunities to hang, though, so please be in touch.

3. We're winding up booking our June Programs. Get in touch... And thanks to you who already have.

Be well.

Onward,

--jim.
