Life and geography make it impossible to see and enjoy these wonderful people as much as I would like. My special friend, Kiriel Solene, brought her usual spirit of joy and love to the proceedings and graced us with her music as a soloist and accompanist to others. Her dear friend, Peter played from some place deep within and held us spellbound. Here are some photos:<br />

Oakhurst is one of the many "Gateway to Yosemite" cities that surround Yosemite National Park, Oakhurst being about 14 miles from the south end of the park. I had a lapse of preparation that kept me from remembering to bring my flute stands, so I spread my wares out on the table.<br />
<br />
Oakhurst is still pretty warm this time of year, and the park is in a bowl that stays hot throughout the day, but most of us are coping pretty well. The best part has been seeing flute friends, both makers and players, and my delight in seeing my dear friend, Kiriel, made my day today.<br />
<br />
I also had my first official turn at an open mike session with my backing tracks to my compositions. I played <i>Anasazi Walk, Anasazi Waltz, a Mojave Improvisation, Spring Bird, and Crystal Dream.</i> The reception for the music was good and the sound system was first-rate.<br />
My friend Tahoe Larry spent some time with me and we traded instruments. I got a sweet A minor flute from him and it was good to see him again.<br />
A flute festival is a pretty happy and safe environment and there is no shortage of talent and craftsmanship here. All of the conversations today with customers and curious visitors were friendly and informative.<br />

It was my first festival, and the one I look forward to most. Rick & Linda Dunlap are the best hosts for this kind of event and I hope to see some old flute friends.

I will have a new version in D minor, a minor third higher, by the end of the week. Playing a D minor scale in sequential fingering, it is quite nice. I'll post a video/sound file soon to help you get an idea of its sound. The fingering is a little easier than some of the longer models, and was designed for a client who requested a flute with an easier reach.</span>Anasazi Dreamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05155509899528929678noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147721063691402445.post-4638354304862708402010-07-15T09:53:00.000-07:002010-07-15T09:53:49.325-07:00A Return HomeWe just returned from a vacation celebrating our 36th anniversary. We spent time in Boston in the old city, drove to the Maine coast for a lobster dinner, and spent 3 nights in Montreal, Quebec, Canada before driving through Vermont and New Hampshire before returning from Boston. It was refreshing to see these places for the first time, and I now have a special appreciation for our neighbors to the north. I've opened up the flute store again, so if you came across this place earlier, it is now ready.Anasazi Dreamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05155509899528929678noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147721063691402445.post-9779476001816160492010-06-01T09:49:00.000-07:002010-06-01T09:49:04.313-07:00Playing DuetsMy article on playing NAFs with Anasazi-style flutes can be seen on this <a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?Playing-Duets-With-Native-American-and-Anasazi-Flutes&id=4373904">E-Zine</a> page.Anasazi Dreamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05155509899528929678noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147721063691402445.post-50254224934133240212010-05-27T10:48:00.000-07:002010-05-27T10:48:19.728-07:00Ezine ArticleI've posted an article comparing the Native American flute and the Anasazi flute on Ezine.com.

It plays like my other flutes, but fingers like a pennywhistle. You can also play in A major by starting on the 3rd hole from the top and using the 2nd hole from the top by itself to play the 4th step of the scale. Very fun to play all the folk melodies we know and love. It's in the Etsy store.</div>Anasazi Dreamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05155509899528929678noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147721063691402445.post-7458715179096845242010-05-23T20:04:00.000-07:002010-05-23T20:04:22.378-07:00New Namaste flutes on Etsy<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijZodP2jXZKz-1gj5bR1MKSYH4gtCNuYDPb14rwGBjLYDJsNMQXrjkGDtiJhaDebFEk0pkQrMA0R8QuPJuf_545h_LfaS4-Z41FJCP6im93dDKONWN9S_hMMNNpXUJy4XnI4wqLr_YC3SJ/s1600/india1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijZodP2jXZKz-1gj5bR1MKSYH4gtCNuYDPb14rwGBjLYDJsNMQXrjkGDtiJhaDebFEk0pkQrMA0R8QuPJuf_545h_LfaS4-Z41FJCP6im93dDKONWN9S_hMMNNpXUJy4XnI4wqLr_YC3SJ/s320/india1.jpg" /></a></div><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcp8O6fVWkOhyphenhyphenRZwBT3jJN3d3Qc7BsUU2B_b5wJZjSDQL7VkndWrHs7ebj_mSql1A_Cz3-_dfXIyaDpOoNuIw7zSf0eVMNuJR88sTrPTNsEnvr4r4TeCYI1x8PRhmtF1U1xDYAdPl0zlXo/s320/rednamaste1.jpg" /><br />

This flute is tuned so that the scale made by lifting successive fingers is an East Indian raga scale. The notes, beginning on E above middle C are: </span><i style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">e, f, g#, a b c d#, e. </i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">The flute overblows into the next octave and is very exotic. This scale is said to be the favorite of the Hindu deity, Shiva and is normally played in the morning. I will post a video of the sound as soon as I can.</span>Anasazi Dreamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05155509899528929678noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147721063691402445.post-5359673612287016232010-03-30T19:20:00.000-07:002010-03-30T19:20:09.836-07:00New Skull Anasazi-style FlutesI only make a few of these Tibetan skull flutes. They are meant for the people who do not fear death, but accept it as part of the great cycle. The tiny beads on the deerskin wrappings are kind of cute, in their way; a bit like tiny ancestors along for the concert!<br />
