I am about to release our new Prayer for Compassion CD,
with Mickey Houlihan, long-time friend, colleague, and co-producer of our 2001 release
Eight String Religion.
I've also have been busy with finishing the second Tao of Poetry with Chungliang Al Huang and Coleman Barks
and I will release a 3 set collection of Rumi and Poetry of Coleman Barks.
