"Wow, I don't know what to say! For four years I have waited for this day.

"The new CD/DVD/LP, 'Kicking & Screaming', sold 7,089 copies this week and just debuted on the Billboard Current Albums chart at #67! And on the Top 200 album chart at #73! My last CD, 'Angel Down' debuted on the same chart in 2007 at #190. So to say 'things are looking up' is an understatement!

[Note: According to Nielsen SoundScan, 'Kicking & Screaming' sold 6,600 copies this week. Ed.]

"Today marks the highest position I have been on the Billboard Top 200 since 1995... and the highest ever as a solo artist, so THANK you, USA !!! I am happiest about this because this means we will get to make another one!! Yeah!! Thanks to all of you who went out and got the album!

Thanks for the great collaboration because 'As Long As I Got the Music', 'I'm Alive'. Never have words fit me more! Thanks, man. See you all soon on the road!"
