Im a bit dissapointed here guys...55 of you have seen this post and I have only had ONE order from this site....I would buy your CD if you had one,and play it on my radio show as well, & 7 bucks is not a lot of money at all.....Thanks in advance to anyone purchasing Breaking Skin and contributing to my next CD Gozando como Siempre.

Hey, I bought it last year... and I paid $9. Maybe some of the other 54 did too.

Why don't you consider taking pre-orders on your new CD as a way of raising capital?
Maybe collect a 20% deposit or something if it's going to be a while.

Just bought it from CD Baby, imported to Itunes, listening on stereo now!
Johnny, I listened to the sample sounds once when you first made the CD, and decided it was worth getting but didn't actually download it then.. Sorry!
But, this music is really good! So I'm glad I have it now!
Thanks!

I know a lot of us on here are "purists" and so will only buy "Mongo, Tito, Chacho, Muñequitos, etc." Therefore leaving out our list brethren.. I guess I can't blame you,,, however, Johnny has put together some fab musicians here and it's way better than just another guy trying to make something good and gets reduced to asking for support..

BTW, I made a CD on Itunes called "Animal Dreams" It has the wrong Bio from the Christian Rock Dave Crowder band, (he has the same name), but I think it still is good enough to have in a collection of eclectic music. It's a didjeridu CD with the didj played, by me, as a percussive as well as melodic instrument. The percussion is played by a highly advanced dumbek player "Shahara", and I've been really humble on this list saying anything about it. But thereyago,, now I did.

Thanks Johnny, I'm emailing you for address to send CD.. It'll just be a copy of the disc. Since I don't have anymore to give away. The CD only exists now as online download at Itunes.
The link to Itunes is:

Your playing I'd say is classic traditional on the contemporary salsa (the slaps are crisp and stick out like they should),, and quick and fast with long fills and rolls on the folkloric. There's a classic sounding roll that is your standard sound that I lack in my own leads.. You use nice transitions between the onbeat rolls that later move offbeat. Something to be learned there.. Again, thanks,
Dave

No my statement wasn't directed towards anyone here at all..It's just that im finding the younger generation today seems to be making a lot of history up without doing their homework(research)....that's all Im saying.."JC" Johnny Conga
