The recent activity with Little Steven got me thinking about his numbers. This guy has released a solo album in the past few years, and a live album, has been on tour and is in the press a lot right now with his new book...

His numbers are just over 72,000 listeners. Pretty much half of Richie's. So again, despite everything, compared to people that are in a similar situation to Richie's as far as guitarists from a big band doing solo stuff goes, his numbers aren't bad. Once he releases a new album they are bound to rise.
