  5. As I read this I was wondering, what if they could go by number of times played instead of number of CD’s sold? The JB CD would have to be at the top – I was amazed,when I asked on the forum the other day, at how many people play it over and over and over…(I’m one of them, btw).

    Congrats to all involved!

  6. No surprise to me at all either…..a FANTASTIC CD…Congrats to all.

    Stubbleyou…if we counted how many times the cd was played…it would have gone gold in a day.

    Can’t tell you how many times I will be playing it before we go to see it on 2/20 8pm. Hubby’s b-day gift to me, again. And then how many times after the show. Will anyone be a the August Wilson that night?
