May NAF News
The big news early this month was that Ron Warren, Native American Flute Instructor for this year’s Timber Flute Festival in Elkins, had been requested to perform for the Pope’s visit in Washington, DC. Details of the April 17 performance can be seen on Ron Warren’s website, http://www.ronwarrenmusic.com/calendar.html. Pretty cool I think and a great honor for Ron.
Cedar Mesa Music and Scott August are proud to announce the Scott August Signature Anasazi Flute. These instruments are made by Geoffrey Ellis of Earth Tone Flutes. You can see one at Scott’s website - the link is on your right. His site reports that he is now teaching lessons on the Anasazi Flute, and has had two workshops this year.
Keith Stanford of Cherry Cows Flutes sent me news about a charity FLUTE MAKING PROJECT. Keith says “Basically, several Flute Makers have joined together to work on a flute. A special piece of wood is first selected, then a song will be recorded, by a noted Recording Artist, using that Community Built Flute. The flute and CD will then be auctioned off, with the proceeds going to charity. For this particular Flute Build, a piece of wood that is over 50,000 years old was used to make this flute. Charles Littleleaf is the Recording Artist who will record the special song.” If you are a member of the yahoo groups basic flute making group you can see photo files of this instrument. (The yahoo groups are a pretty good way to network with other flute folks and are recommended in that the flute groups are pretty well moderated.) A flute like this one was detailed in the current issue of Voice of The Wind. This is a great idea and a very worthwhile way to create one of a kind flutes to help folks in a new dimension.
Also do not forget:
Jan Seiden is someone I mentioned last post as being a very talented flute performer you should hear as soon as you get the chance. Her official release party for the new album, Memory of Time will be May 13th.
I was fortunate to purchase a copy at Potomac Flute Festival and it is fantastic, below is a short summary of how you can hear Jan and get a copy of the album yourself.
