Hi Everybody, I hope you all are doing well!

I've decided to put my CD project (which was going to be a Christmas album) on hold for the time being, because I feel that it's not quite in God's perfect timing right now! I've decided instead to put my energies toward writing new material for a new CD. I'll keep you posted as that develops!

In other news, I've been invited to play in the XII Festival Internacional de Guitarra, (12th International Guitar Festival), at the Teatro Nacional,(National Theater), in San Jose, Costa Rica!

The Teatro Nacional is one of the most beautiful theaters in Central America and the Festival is of such prestige that it draws master guitarists from around the globe, especially from Europe, North America, and from all over Central and South America!

These master guitarists represent their respective genres. Usually, the genres represented include primarily Classical, Flamenco, various Central and South American musical forms, Jazz, Blues, Rock (they have one electric guitar concert during the Festival), and now... Country style gitbox pickin'! As far as I know, I'll be the first guitarist to represent "Country Fingerstyle" in the Festival!

The Lord also blessed me because I'll be doing National TV, Radio and Press interviews for the event!

The festival will be held from the 21st to the 25th of September. If you would like to go to one or all of the concerts, you can get information or order tickets by calling Novaterra Productions in Costa Rica at 506-297-4687. you can also go to the Teatro Nacional website at: www.teatronacional.go.cr. Hope to see you there!

Well, I've got to go practice. Buddy
