i think recent comments surrounding the demise of sam's and dan kershaw's
window thru his bobby dazzler aka david flexer experience speaks volumes to
the almost non-existence to retail shelf space today.  this has been coming
in the states before here for several years, but now it is a dramatic issue
with a re-newed need for *community based retail* (bookstores, niche
retail, etc.) to support the touring and gigging sales opportunity.
