SPECIAL NOTE

"NO WIND, NO RAIN, NO WINTER STORM COULD STOP THIS ALBUM"

During production of this CD, Hurricane Katrina and Rita hit New Orleans, Louisiana and other parts of the South. Schoolboy Cleve had one tune recorded live, from a performance with a trumpet player named Marcus, from New Orleans who happened to be blind. But had love and vision of the city and its sound of music, which you can clearly feel when you hear him on this CD.
He played with so much feeling; it truly captured the New Orleans, Louisiana sound. This is his own story told in music, CD title track Friday Night (The New Orleans, LA sound).

A GREAT CD TO HAVE IN YOUR COLLECTION
