NATIVE AMERICAN FLUTE PLAYER - TUCSON

IMG_1343.jpg

My wife says I'm obsessed with the Native Flute.  I say "I'm enthusiastic".  I suppose it's a matter of perspective.  It's true that I do spend a significant amount of time in flute-related activities and thoughts, but I manage to function in other areas too.  So that's not obsessed...  Right?

​

I play and record music.  I collect, broker, make, and repair flutes.  I offer instruction, attend multiple flute circles, and have written 2 flute books.  And I perform locally now and then.

​

Like I said, I'm not obsessed... Right?

Liner Notes Live

 

A video interview with Helen Yetman-Bellows.  We all miss the experience of handling and reading actual music jackets, and liner notes.  Well, Liner Notes Live is liner notes for the streaming age.  In this first episide, Helen and I chat about my album "Standing Free".
