• A Special Wind…

    So, today I’m sitting here thinking about my flute playing style. Someone made the offhand comment that I sound like some sort of snake charmer when I play.

  • Just a Random Day…

    Space aliens probably control the tone for today – its all I can think of. All I did was roll out of bed in a good mood, and suddenly – WHAM! – I became random. But, its another one of those days where I just cannot even put two sentences together, so I’m off to Read more
