<BR>I try to buy local as much as possible. Problem with many local retailers in <BR>my area, is that they try to add a dollar or two to the price if they have to <BR>"special order" an item.

When buying a handful of items, this can add up, <BR>especially when sales taxes are deferred due to buying out of state.

hi, paul --
i think i can say a little something on munoz, and trust i'll be corrected if
i'm wrong.
he lives in upstate new york and was on some pharoah sanders records way back
sometime. hasn't been recorded in a long time before the last 3 years or so,
when he's done a half dozen or so records. somehow henry kaiser found him and
started championing him, i believe.
more important than the bio, tho, is that he's a blistering guitarist. in the
sonny sharrock mold, even tho one hates to draw parallels between players. i
have one disc and have heard a few others and they seem to be consistently
strong (even if the covers are ugly).
while i'm talking,
i don't believe masada is retiring. jz would erect more fanfare if that were the
case, methinks.
and plus also a last minute mention to nyers to attend if you please:

Here in Toronto, where all the downtown megastores
stock some "outside" product, the number of small
outlets isn't a problem. But there are still
unobtainable or overpriced discs.
One I've found solution is to order from Verge in
Uxbridge, Ont.:
www.vergemusic.com
The selection is vast, the people friendly and the
service fast. A disc will arrive in Toronto within a a
day or two. And prices are in Canadian dollars, which
makes a difference for European and American releases.
I've heard Cadence/North Country south of the 49th
operates the same way.
In terms of indies, BTW, there was a wire service
story in Saturday's Toronto Star about NYC's Other
Music. It talked about its success among the "hip",
strange store classifications and how the people
running it are now expanding by opening a second store
in Cambridge, Mass.
Does that mean Other is on the way to be the next
Tower or HMV?
