HatArt, perhaps.  But a good distributor has that power, which gets their
stuff into the stores (especially the stores that don't return Joe Morris
new disc three weeks after it comes out to make more room for that new
Metheny product) has more power.

i'd like to point out for the record that there are some folks out there who will show up at the store to take away _both_ the latest Joe Morris and Pat Metheny.

(heck, maybe even the latest Skip Heller!)
