Hello there, we have been doing a lot since we last posted. Sorry about that.
We started our flute classes once again with Annie, twice a month, Thursdays, for 3 hours. Now we are 5 students, so that is a different dynamic, but good.
Friday night we returned to the flute circle, Coachella Valley Flute circle is the name, and we had about 2.5 hours of wonderful fluting and didge playing. Some new folks and some from before, in all a terrific dynamic though Chip wasn't there. Boo hoo. Al H took one of Lary's internet purchased flutes and built a new bridge for it, plus a metal base plate under that, so now it plays.
At our flute class I felt left out kind of as neither of us had an Anasazi type flute, some of the students have them made by Stephen De Ruby, so I ordered one, it is going to be weird as now we can play both major and minor scales, but their sound is so incredible I wanted to try it. They have thumb holes at the bottom of the flute, so that is an added complication. It is being made for me as I play left handed, so it might arrive before Christmas, the delivery service is pretty incredible down here.
Got my hair cut today after the most incredible candy making workshop that Chip gave at his home. He made 3 kinds of candy confections, and are they ever good. We each had a goodie bag of candy to take home at the end of the class.
