This is a very simple song.  It is a tribute to a very dear friend, musician, and flute maker.

Song For Maurice E Flute

This has no name.  Sometimes I just sit down with the recorder on and play..  This is my morning thoughts today.  Maybe it will turn into a longer song bust just saving it here.

Copper Flute 1st Song - Missing You

Just trying to feel what this flute is all about.  I am falling in love with the sound.  Working a little with the Cm scale using one of Eric Raum's backing track.   Next need to work on the higher register but just taking it slow and enjoying the sounds. the pic was taken from the plane when we were returning home from Alaska.

3  CopperFlute C - Minor- Above the Clouds

In 2013, at the Potomac Flute Festival, a workshop to play with Dawn Avery on Cello was offered.  The only requirement was you had to be able to improvise.  I was really nervous because I had never played the NAF with a string instrument.  Dawn was wonderful. She recorded the pieces from that session and gave us copies.  This is one of the pieces that we improvised. 

A Mother's Love

This is a 2nd improvised song that was recorded in the workshop with Dawn Avery at the Potomac Flute Festival in 2013.  It doesn't have a title yet.   It was played on a Mary Youngblood   Aminor signature flute made by Feather Ridge Flutes.

Heart Of Hearts

Journey Home on Brent Haines High E flute - This is a song I dedicated to Rosie Swale Pope.  My sister and I met Rosie at our motel when we attended the Palo Pinto flute festival in 2017.  She was a very quirky interesting lady.   Rosie Swale-Pope is a British author, adventurer and marathon runner. In her 60's, " she successfully completed a five-year around-the-world run to raise money (£250,000) for a charity that supports orphaned children in Russia  and to highlight the importance of early diagnosis of prostate cancer. Her other achievements include sailing single-handed across the Atlantic in a small boat and trekking 3,000 miles (4,800 km) alone through Chile on horseback. She is an incredible woman.  If you google her you can read more about her journey.  She also has a book out that I purchased on Amazon.

Played on a Brent Haines Flute  Journey Home

This is a song that I wrote for my husband's parents.  My father-in-law was a survivor of the concentration camps.  When I wrote this song, I was thinking about the reunion and their first conversation between the 2 of them  when he returned from the camps.  He was about 19 when he was  picked up by Hitlers's troops and taken to the camps.  This is a live recording made  about 10 years ago with a group of very close friends.  We were playing for an Art League fund raiser.  This is played on a Romy Benton Bamboo Sideblown flute.

Concert Jan. 24, Tyler County Art League

Is it Really True -

This is a song that started out as an improv out on my mother-in-law's patio early one morning in Port Clinton, Ohio.  She heard me playing that morning When my sister-in-law passed away unexpectedly my mother-in-law asked me to play this  fsong for a memorial service out on Lake Erie.   We took a boat with family and friends out on Lake Erie for a private service.  This song  basically started as an improv but it became a full song inspired by the service on the lake and it's peacefullness. .  In memory of my sister-inlaw who grew up on Lake Erie,a big hat full of flowers was was placed on the water.  I played this song as the hat floated out on the lake and dissipated.  During the serivce you  could see lightening on the horizon as a storm  started rolling in.   As I played, I  could hear the birds in the background and hear the lightening off far away.    This song became " A Song for Anna".   It is played on a beautiful high G NAF style flute made by Coyote Oldman (Michael Graham Allen).
