First, the disappointing news: Leonard McGann's annual Flute Fall In will not be scheduled for this year and Leonard tells me that they may try it again next year, stay tuned.

2009 Potomac Native American Flute Festival – Put it on you Calendar! The sixth Potomac Native American Flute Festival will be held the weekend of March 27-29, 2009 at the Richard Montgomery High School in Rockville, MD. Confirmed performers include Scott August and Autumn’s Child featuring Mark Holland on Friday night; and Mark “Thunderwalker” Camden and The Jeff Ball Band on Saturday night. There will also be a 90 minute Saturday afternoon concert featuring 3 artists: Jan Seiden, Jonny Lipford, and the duo of David Landis and Diana Sunday (from the DC-local group KIVA).

From Clint Goss; “I've just updated the version of Edward Kort's NAFlutomat program that is available on FluteKey.com to the latest version. It is now version 1.37.1. (Ed'snumbering omits the leading "1." and is just 37.1).Version 37.1 is a minor update from the long-standing version 37 that has beenposted in the Files section of this group since December '07.”Here's the link: www.flutekey.com and scroll down to the third section "Flute Construction" and click on"NAFlutomat - NAF Design Tool"
