I stopped in there the other day to finally get the SRV boxed set which I knew they had, decided to go ahead and fork over the $52.99. Well I'll be darned, out of the four on the shelf one of 'em was marked for $29.99...the others were marked for $52.99. I took the 30 buck DVD up to the checkout counter and the 'sales associate' (one of Bren's homies ) says, 'That will be $52.99'...in my best Ron White impersonation, 'Ta ha..I don't THINK SO, Sport', so after this sales associate gets the manager and a couple of minutes of arguing on my part the manager says to me 'Ok, $29.99, must be your lucky day!'
See there, those kind of stores aren't all bad.
So Rick, I now have the SRV boxed set and it is awesome!

What can I say? That big guy really scared me so I had to give him the discount.

I know I can't believe the long holdout either but now that the Axioms are in place I don't think I'll be holding out too much any more. I must confess, for years I was a casual listener of Stevie Ray but the past year and a half or so I really starting getting into his music and have been equally impressed with him as a person. Man it's such a doggone shame to see a person of his caliber be gone so quick.
So anyway, no I do not have any imports and if you know of any sources where they can be had, I'll be grateful! I'm sure you go over to this site http://www.srvrocks.com/? Great place with lots of links.

Unfortunately in our rather small town there is absolutely nothing but a Circuit City and Best Buy. Usually the stuff I can't find here I'll get online. I'll start digging around a little harder.
