620.0. "First American Music and Chanting" by DNEAST::WHITE_MIKE () Tue Mar 22 1994 03:08

    I am quite a big fan of Native American music, I am also Native
    American myself. Is there anyone that has this appreciation as
    well.
    I mostly enjoy chanting, however I am open for any discussion
    regarding all the facets of Fist American Music.
    Hey Yah Heh, akodani de he ahee ah ho, akonisin.

Are you into Native American flute music enough to know of a good source
for flutes?

620.2Try "Lark in the Morning"MSBCS::ASHFORTHThu Mar 31 1994 15:566
Bob, I don't know if anyone else has a reference, but I know I've seen flutes in
the "Lark in the Morning" catalog. I put the contact info into the Folk music
conference at COOKIE::FOLK_MUSIC, as I recall, though the question at hand
didn't pertain to native American flutes.

620.3Handmade FlutesDNEAST::WHITE_MIKEMon Apr 04 1994 01:2211
    The local trading store has a few flutes available. Thier prices are a
    bit high however these are the genuine hand made flutes and not a mass
    production type. Prices range from about $65.00 up to $250.00.
    The handmade flutes are exceptionally tuned from the low to high
    pitch according to what your preference is. If you would like me
    to do some checking aroun for you because I am also in the market for
    a flute I can afford. My credo is quality first, cost second.

    Cool...
    
    I've been going to "pow wows" for a couple of years... pretty much
    every chance I get. I'm not Native American, but I do love the culture,
    music and dance. As a song-writer, I try to be a "sponge" when it comes
    to so-called "world music". While I don't directly rip off what I hear,
    it soaks into the skin and bubbles up when I find myself sitting at the
    piano... I'm also very interested in the spiritual aspect of Native
    American culture, and how this aspect is embodied in the music and
    dance. (I have a t-shirt which reads: I'm not a human being having a
    spiritual experience; I'm a spiritual being having a human experience).
    
    I find the NA people to be very willing to teach those who want to
    learn more about their culture. My kids love the pow wows too...
