                <description><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Good day music lovers. My new CD is coming along great. Instead of doing all of the instruments myself, i&amp;rsquo;ve got some cool katts playing with me. For those of you that speak spanish, i will be doin a spanish version on some songs. I&amp;rsquo;ve got someone working on the vocal translation right now. By doing this, the Cd is now going to be a double cd. I&amp;rsquo;ve played in Latin rock, funk, r&amp;amp;b and jazz bands so i thought the spanish variation would be cool. As always be patient with me on getting back to you. As this project unfolds i will next be working on a new band and perfomance venues and will let you know when and where that will be. Be cool. Peace.&lt;/p&gt;]]></description>
