Looks like fun, but I'm kinda stuck in Florida for the time being. So I'm
looking forward to Dock's, and maybe the one in Melbourne (is that right?),
depending on how life shakes out.

Hugs,
Ann

Hi Jonny ~~

Are you and Lynn planning on being at Dock's Gathering this year. Will Lynn have
some of her gourds there?  I especially like the ones with the Zuni bears on
them.  I've misplaced her e-mail address, so I can't contact her directly.

Hugs,

I wanted to let everyone know about this event in Oklahoma.
It is short notice but that is how it has worked out.
There are many open slots for the open mic at this time. If you are interested
please contact dkay@... as soon as you can. You do not have to be a
professional to perform. This event is about good people sharing a love for the
flute and each other.
This is a amazing place to gather and enjoy the flute with others that share the
same.
Check out the link and make plans.
We hope to see some of you there.

Blessings to all,
Dennis Frederiksen

Hey Everyone,

  I can't believe how quiet it's been lately. Actually, only online it's
been quiet. I know everyone has been wrapped with the holidays and
such. Well, the holidays are over and the new year is here! I'm hoping
that 2009 will be filled with many more great things!

  So did Santa leave anyone new flutes or anything? I actually recieved
a ukelele and a bamboo saxophone! Really awesome instruments! I'm
trying to expand my music abilities by trying out new and different
instruments. I think it's working. I'm also trying my hand at
transverse flutes. It's all very different than the NA Flute. But I'm
enjoying learning.

  Hope this letter finds you all in great health and happiness! Have a
great night/day!! Happy Flutin! -Jonny L

Hey Everybody just posting to say that I got Jonny's new Crossroads CD
today and it is awesome!!! Jonny's very quick customer service was very
cool too!!!  Just listening to it on my computer as I type now and I
just love every track.  Congratulations on a fine piece of work
Jonny!!!  All my Best- Dennis

So how were the NAMMYs?  You were there, right? How was it to see in
person? Didja get to meet any fascinating folks? Didja get to see The
Falls?  I was cheering you on, but maybe next year, right?

I watched the NAMMYs on-line. The internet broadcast was provided by
"Single Feather Media" and run by Michael "Kicking Bear" Johnson.
Along side the broadcast was a chat group, with constant commentaries,
some good, some a little mean, and some delightfully silly. It was
great fun. Even got to say "Hi" to Arvel Bird there.

Michael did a great job. I guess the house microphones were not well
balanced for internet broadcasting, because he was constantly having
to adjust volumes and qualities. The MC's voice would blast, then you
could barely hear the presenters. Turn their sound up a bit, and then
the MC would come back on and lift you right off your seat - LOL.

Some of the performers were great, and some just awful. I was thankful
I could turn off the sound on the ones I didn't like. Some of it was
music genres I just don't like (hip hop), and some of it I think was
technical, as when Pura Fe, Star Nayea, and the Cherokee National
Children's Choir were performing together. The sound wasn't well
balanced on that one, at least not on the internet presentation.

I was glad to be able to watch the show. To me, NA music is flute
music, an extremely limited view, I found out. I was amazed to see NA
hip hop and NA raggae. I was especially surprised to see Felipe Rose,
the Indian of "The Village People" inducted into the Hall of Fame. LOL
- I just don't think of "The Village People" and NA music in the same
firing of brain synapses.

So the show was very eye-opening for me. And I came away with a few
non-flute names I want to investigate, like J.J. Kent - "I Am Red",
and Terry Lee Whetstone. Each category had sound bytes of the
nominees, just enough to tantalize me.

Anybody else watch?

(Can't wait to get your new CD at the Silverhawk Gathering. See ya
Saturday. Lookin' forward to seeing Lynn, too! Both of you need to be
prepared for Big Hugs!)

Hugs,
Ann

Congratulations, Jonny!  I am happy for you and very proud, too.

Thanks for the link to the article.   Sharon

feeling walking up to receive it, my heart was pounding though I was
not nervous at all. More like exitement and relief.
