Along with building many special flutes for people all over the world this year Nicole and I have been preparing the music and the dance for our next tribal fusion dance performances in Spokane Wash on October 30th and 31st!

We perform about 7 shows a year and we are scheduled for our largest production yet at the Bing Crosby Theatre on February 20th, 2010 ! http://www.koreshakti.com/

You can hear some sounds of my flutes and music from our performances with my band Kama Shivaya - http://www.myspace.com/kamashivaya

Much rehearsal is happening along with building many new very beautiful looking and healing sounding bamboo flutes for customers!

I've been studying how Nicole hand carves and paints and am now creating most all of the kanji or other symbols while Nicole handles the more elaborate and detailed carvings. I have new photo updates for the website that will reflect the latest versions of the flutes. Take a look at some of the new images! I'll keep adding more on pages and in the gallery this year!
