As always, my blog is at http://www.elkvoice.com/flute_blog
I have finally been doing some recording in the lab (my trusty barn). I put a couple of the things I’ve been working on up on the website – music downloads page. It was fun to get ‘She Talks to Me’ into a recorded format because I kept changing the song around. So now it’s locked in as they say. So far, I think my wife likes it – which is good since I wrote it for/about her.

The EagleNationSong is a flute song. I adapted this from a song we used to sing in Whitecalf singers. In fact, I remember Bruce Whitecalf teaching me this song a long time ago. I’ve also heard the Brotherhood community singers (Porcupine Singers) sing this at PowWows. It’s a Lakota song as far as I know, and I think it’s beautiful whether sung at the drum, or rendered on the flute. The song gets it’s name from the lyrics which say, “Wanble gleshka kiye waupelo, Wangble Oyate ke, waupelo”…or the Eagle Nation people are coming… Enjoy this very rough cut recording.

Lastly, I put a video version of “Believe It” out there too. We needed to use this song in church and I wanted to be sure folks could understand the lyrics. So I put this slideshow together with super-imposed lyrics. It turned out OK for our purposes. Hope you like it.
