Bio John De Boer (Spirit of Thunder) A wonderfully talented musician and composer, the flute music of John De Boer and his debut recording "Flute Songs for a Blue Moon" are certainly a welcome addition and we are honored to have this acclaimed artist." Music is not just something that he does music is everything that he is.... “ John De Boer has played with or fronted for many well known artists such as Chubby Checker, The Crystals, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels, Henry Lee Summers, Johnny Paycheck, Lou Cristie, Billy Joe Royal, John Anderson, Merle Hagert, and many more. John's original flute songs are composed and inspired while playing in natural surroundings by waterfalls or a river. The Native American flute sings and echoes in the valleys while the birds whisper melodies in the wind as the magic flutes plays. The inclusion of these types of sonic backgrounds on his latest release," Flute Songs for a Blue Moon" is a testament to these inspirations, taking the listener on a journey of magical explorations with the Native American Flute. John De Boer's music is played from his heart, and when you hear his songs you can tell they were born from deep within his soul. John's music has been described as meditative, soothing and healing in its truly mystical essence. "Flute Songs for a Blue Moon" is a must have for any lover of Native (love) flute music. You can hear the voice of many ancients in the music of John De Boer as he plays the Native American flute. De Boer's approach to composing and performing accommodates the spiritual dimension of music. He employees an artistic note bending technique on his flute that wrenches the soul of the listener and blends the melodic contours of his songs with the joys, triumph, and tragedies common to the heart of all men. John De Boer has been a professional musician for over 20 years. A multi-talented composer and entertainer, John has been performing on stage and national television since he was four years old. He holds a degree in fine arts and is a certified music teacher. Still, John mostly plays "by ear", believing that music theory and sheet music are a mere guide to assist a person in finding the music which resides inside of each of our souls.

Story behind the song
The Gift Flute Song - Loons in the Moonlight Gifts are very important to Native people and all people. There is as much fun in the giving as the receiving. We all have received a rare gift. Here is one true story of how the gift is passed on and what it means to people. I was teaching as I had done hundreds of times and I always carry a native flute. One of the nuns at the school where I was teaching asked me to go down and play some flute for the boys and girls in the Monisory preschool so I said sure no problem. So I danced into this preschool playing my flute like Kokopelli and the kids loved it as they always do. The children all laughed and clapped when I was finished. On my way out, I noticed one boy who was obviously very sick drooling on him self and the nun that was holding him. As I was playing myself out of the room I bent down and spun around right next to him and then I was gone on my way to teach a music class at the Jr. High. After a long day and all the students had left I was packing up my books and in walked the nun who was holding the little boy. She said she wanted to thank me personally before I left for coming over to her class. She had tears in her eyes as she explained to me that little Johnny had cerebral palsy, had no control over his muscles, and was going to die. She said today was the first time she had seen Johnny smile in three months and she thought I was an Angel. I told her “ah shucks mam I'm not an Angel, I’m just a hippie that has been gifted a magic flute.” love and peace Spirit John http://www.soundclick.com/johndeboer We all have a song inside us it tells us who we are. Mitakuye Oyasin !! (we are all related) Witsatologi nihi! ~Many blessings to you~
