I recently submitted this video for a contest in a Facebook Native American Flute Musician page. The theme was water and due to the extremely cold temperatures I had to find a place indoors. It was weird randomly playing, actually got nervous even though people that were around were just doing their own thing. The only equipment that was used …
I was invited to play at Lisa Rahilly‘s business Mindful Inspirations. During the event I played a number of songs and had a discussion about the Native American Style flute with all who attended. This all happened while enjoying some delicious homemade goodies which Lisa made. I hope that Lisa has me again as it was a very positive experience.
I was able to perform at the 21st Barnbash hosted by Ben Beavers. This was the second time I have been able to perform at such a fun event.

I was invited to perform at the Gathering of the Peoples Pow Wow in Pennsylvania. It was a very windy day which turned out to be a challenge however, I enjoyed sharing this beautiful instrument with new people. This was more of a casual setting but it was the perfect setting for improvisational music. I hope to return in 2018.
On July 22 2017 I attended the 26th Annual Native American Dance & Music Festival at Ganondagan in Victory, Ny. I was excited to find flute vendors and I had the pleasure to meet Bill Harjo who is from Texas. I fell in love with 2 of his flutes, a Bamboo and a River Cane one, and just had to …
On June 25 2017 I performed at the United with Music Benefit Concert which Mary Monroe had organized in Rochester, Ny. This was a nice experience as I got to play on stage with other musicians and it was an overall good feeling performance.
I performed at the recent Twin Tiers Mini Maker Faire. A couple of local library’s teamed up to bring the fourth Mini Maker faire during the end of March. Per the below website: “A Mini Maker Faire is an event that “celebrates arts, crafts, engineering, science projects and the DIY mindset””. This was an enjoyable event where I got to …
Bani Aello invited me to play at her weekly guided meditation again. These are held on Wednesdays in Victor NY from 7:30-8:30pm. Each time I get to play I find myself enjoying it each time more than the first. You get to meet some nice people and help to aid in relaxation of everyone including yourself.
