I once had a good friend who I worked with and his children started calling me flute man so it kind of stuck.

I love to play my flutes in front of an audience it is the greatest feeling. I really love to combine both my talents together when I can ,my performances and lectures and there is one major place for that and that is in Colleges where I will usually spend the day giving lectures and in the evening a concert . My most memorable time is when I brought my parents with me for the first time to one of my concerts and just before I went on my Dad stood up from the front row and turned around and seen all of the people who had come to listen and watch my concert and he said “ I had no idea my son was that well known “ I just grinned , that nights total turn out was just shy of 1,000 people

I think the music gets more exposure. I am not sure how it will or dose effect the music industry but my vote goes to how it effects musicians in a positive way , I would hope that if it hurt the music industry ,,,,well they have more money than I and it should be just a small adjustment.

Depends on the circumstances??

I was taught in 1984 the traditional art of flute making by a 4th generation flute maker ,so I made flutes up till 1998 when I no longer made flutes and became a Native American style flute performer and every day I am thankful for the gifts and celebrate them with every breath.

Flagstaff AZ. & Rapid City SD. Are my favorite City’s , The Grand Canyon & Devils Tower WY. Are my favorite places.

The Native American flute can be heard in many different medias today but traditional Native American flute music is like the roots of a tree without them the tree would die , that’s why I do what I do to keep a legacy alive.
