Did I get the commas correct Richard?

No.

Commas can be used to clear cloudy sentences. You did that in the
first sentence, but you also had the suggestion of a comma splice
later. Proper usage would have been to replace it with a semicolon,
or eliminate it (break the splice) to make another sentence. However
the second sentence is not a sentence, much less two of them. There
is no predicate. So discussion of proper comma usage is largely moot.

I am sure most followed the thoughts through to completion without a
blip in understanding. English is quite flexible in that regard.
