Could someone recommend or point me to some additional books for two conga/one player? Most things I have found usually focus on one drum. I have a handfull that I really like in the CongaJoy book, but I am looking for more.
Thanks!

Am I correct that you've already tried playing conga riffs from other practice books or DVDs on two congas? If you haven't, try splitting the riffs--one on the quinto and one on the conga, for example...
BC, let us know about the new Poncho Sanchez book/DVD. I have the "Conga Cookbook," and while it's awesome for a beginner, it was more a refresher course for me...
Thanks, bro's...

No prob...the only thing was that the buddy who gave it to me as a birthday gift a few years ago didn't know I'd studied percussion for years. The book is good for beginners, as I said, but I'm like you in wanting to run the restaurant without cleaning the deep fryers first (and man, that makes cleaning the toilet bowls look like a cinch!)
