Salty - I just joined as a birthday gift for my boyfriend - he loves your show! Especially the PUSH show with John Hammond and both the FAVS of 2007. He tells everyone about the show - to the point I think people are sick of hearing about it. Will you send us Jon Cleary and Ashley Davies - if those aren't available pretty much anything would be groovy.
