I had the great opportunity to perform twice on the New Breathe stage this year and It is really a fun time to play for people who love these flutes as much as I do. I could not stay for the award ceremony however to my delight and surprize , I opened an email when I arrived home informing me that I had been chosen as the best performer on the New Breathe Stage for Flute Quest 2010. What a thrill and an honor and I thank everyone who voted for me.

The flute quest people truly do a great job of organizing this event. Thanks for making it happen so well.

At flute quest the attendees vote for their favorite booth and their favorite performer on the new breath stage.

The winner of the best booth was Dennis Lombard of Mountain Flutes. I would love to have been their for the award ceremony to see the look on Dennis's face when the announcement was made.  Congratulations Dennis --- I am really happy for you.

Here I am after a whirlwind afternoon at flute quest. I have had a chance to check in with the flute makers, bid on silent auction items, drool and lust over some of the wonderful flutes and kick back and listen to some of the great performances from the new breath stage,

Attending flute festivals is like flute heaven for me. I enjoy meeting more flute enthusiasts and hanging out with some of the great people I have met over the years with my flute playing.

 Satruday will be another fun day, I will be playing on the new breath stage and I am very excited about that. Flute festivals are fun.

Tomorrow I will take in the Mary Youngblood concert, but who my friends Joe Young and Ken Kholman are opening for her and I am very excited to see them.
stay tune for updates on my flutequest adventures 2010.

Awhile back Peaceful Spirit Flutes was invited to be a vendor at the BC Renaissance Festival in Langley July 16, 17 and 18th. We decided we were up for the challenge. I am sure a bunch of knights, jousters, peasants and pirates could use a good dose of
peaceful flutes. It is going to be a great adventure I am certain.

Flutequest is always a great event to attend. There are wonderful flute makers people just brimming with enthusiasm about the Native American Flutes, excellent professional performers and at the New Breathe Stage as well.  The selection of workshops is wonderful with something to offer from beginner to advanced players. The location on the ocean at Salt Water Park is a very welcoming place for this festival.

It is well organized and a delight to attend. I am truly looking forward to my next Flute quest adventure in August of 2010.

I hope to see you there and listen to you play your song.

Music, sound, thoughts that float in the air and organically connect our emotions to others... Native American Flutes do that for me. This is one of the many reasons my life has been so completely enriched when a Native American Flute first entered my life.
