so i ordered the dvd from filmbaby an this is the email i got from them. its too funny.
---------------------------------------------------------
Hooray! I am pleased to announce that your order has been processed and is now complete.
The following 1 DVD shipped today:
1 copy of Rick Estrin Reveals Secrets Subtleties & Tricks of the Blues Harmonica
Please rest assured that we've taken great care in the shipping of your DVD.
We hold true to an ancient DVD shipping tradition passed down for over 5000 years. This very intensive practice is only achieved after years of training, meditation, purity of mind, and deep breathing exercises.
After a rigorous 17 step process of verifying the authenticity of your DVD, we donned silk gloves and placed it into a sacred box made of magic and lined with Unicorn fur, tied the box with a strand of Gypsy hair, and wrapped the whole thing in a snazzy looking faux gold leaf paper, with elm leaf inlay from Costco. Unfortunately, by the time it gets to you, all of that fancy stuff will likely have been picked clean by the greedy postal service employees. Please don't be surprised to see just a plain cardboard box.
We hope you enjoy your film and that you'll visit Film Baby again soon to browse all the great independently created entertainment!
Jamie Chvotkin, President
Film Baby

This is the delivery message CD Baby send -
-------------
Your CDs have been gently taken from our CD Baby shelves with sterilized contamination-free gloves and placed onto a satin pillow.
A team of 50 employees inspected your CDs and polished them to make sure they were in the best possible condition before mailing.
Our packing specialist from Japan lit a candle and a hush fell over the crowd as he put your CDs into the finest gold-lined box that money can buy.
We all had a wonderful celebration afterwards and the whole party marched down the street to the post office where the entire town of Portland waved "Bon Voyage!" to your package, on its way to you, in our private CD Baby jet on this day, Friday, June 25th.
I hope you had a wonderful time shopping at CD Baby. We sure did.
Your picture is on our wall as "Customer of the Year." We're all exhausted but can't wait for you to come back to CDBABY.COM!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Sigh...

Anyway, does anyone know if the Estrin DVD will be released in a UK/Europe format?
cheers

I got a chance to watch the Estrin DVD last night and thouroughly enjoyed it. I really hadn't heard of him before and really liked his playing and what he had to say was cool. He had a good way of putting musical ideas into words.
Also got to see Jason Ricci in Dallas last Friday. Really good show. Really great guitar player too. They were friendly as hell. I didn't even know there was a harp clinic before the show till it was over, but I would have missed it anyway so I'm kinda glad I didn't know.
Got to ask him a ton of questions as I stayed till the end. When I asked him about the new B-radical harps, he had me play the one in his harp case to compare with the Golden Melody I had in my pocket. The man will stop at nothing to treat a fan right.
