    Thanks, Mike. I check Shawn's site weekly, and have been checking Sound vs Silence regularly waiting for any pre-order info.

    I just grabbed the T-Shirt. Can't wait for the CD.

    Anyone else notice that, amongst others, Dave Krusen plays drums on the album?
    Very excited to hear this, I love Shawn's work!

    Happy is amazing! I can't wait to move back to Ohio so I can catch his shows more frequently. If all I had to listen to in this word was Pearl Jam, Muse, Shawn, and Happy...I'd be Happy!

    By the way, anyone in Ohio should try and check out any of Happy's upcoming concerts...the few I remember are March 6th at Canal Street in Dayton (awesome place to catch him by the way), March 7th at Southgate house just across the river from Cincy, and March 14th in Columbus...well worth it, and only $5 a pop...His album, Lovers Come Back, is also outstanding, but he is even more fun live.

    It's interesting because, isn't Shawn a big man himself?

    I wonder if the Ronnie James Dio website sells XXS?

    Just got the album...only through the first 4-5 songs so far...as always, great stuff.

    Shawn needs to get out of the Pacific Northwest and do some shows in the States...forget Europe. ;) And he should bring Happy with him.

    Hi,

    I'm lucky enough to live about 50m (literally) from the Half Moon in Putney, London and almost fell off my chair when I read that SS was playing here. I got my tickets straight away. Its a tiny venue, maybe 300 people max. Its famous for its time in the 60's/70's when the Stones and many more famous british bands played there. Now its mostly famous for its tribute bands. I saw an awesome Led Zeppelin tribute band there recently, Boot led Zeppelin.

    I have been listening to the new album, its great. What a voice. Has anyone got any tips on where I can find a torrent of his older stuff. I know some of it has been re issued but I'd like to listen to it before I try and buy it as I will probably need to import it. I'm especially interested in his solo albums as I have the BRAD ones and have heard the Satchel/Pigeonhed ones but not his earlier solo stuff.

    Any help is most appreciated.
