Wind Weaver is delighted, excited and ecstatic to announce that our song, ‘Aerial Wanderer’ will be in the film Finding Aloha 2. The film is directed by Phil Waller and is being released in early 2010. The film focuses on world class surfers and has some fantastic film footage of the giant waves that surfers dare to challenge.

Here is a link to the trailer for the first Finding Aloha Film.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2oUbW0uc9I&feature=related

Writer and Director Philip Waller embarks on an adventure to the mecca of surfing, the North Shore of Oahu. After years landlocked and uninspired by life in Los Angeles, Philip calls an old friend (Dan Moore) who lives on the North Shore asking if he can stay with him for a few weeks and document the trip. The next day Philip is sitting on a plane flying to Hawaii. “Finding Aloha” tells the story of underground Big Wave surfer Dan Moore and his amazing group of friends, as they search for pure happiness, adrenaline, and the meaning of the Aloha Spirit. Finding Aloha 2 also tells the story of a world class surfer.

Come on out and hear Wind Weaver play.

We will be adding some great music made on a propane tank!
Really - propane tanks can really sing beautifully.
This particular tank is called a MOYO drum. MOYO means
heart in Swahili. So this drum like a native american flute
is meant to be played from the heart.

Blog TV is making it much easier for people to see and hear more Native American Flute players. Rod Krug aka, didgerod of Colorado has introduced just such a show. It occurs on Monday nights. He regularly has co hosts who share their music.

This was a great event with lots of wonderful energy and great people celebrating the intriguing history of Nanaimo. It’s nice to see an event embrace the roots of its community. It’s also nice when an event like this chooses to celebrate the local talent in the community providing a spot for local musical artists, story tellers and artisans to share their talent with an enthusiastic audience. Nanaimo on beautiful Vancouver Island is a great place to call home.

A real highlight for Wind Weaver was the sneak performance that we offered to a visitor to the island from New York who would not be able to stay to hear us play…..so we took her off to a place behind my flute sales tent and gave her a sneak preview of our music.

Music offers an opportunity for people to connect from so many different places in surprising ways. We were delighted to share our music with Nancy from New York.( Hi Nancy). For me it was a double pleasure as she is just beginning her flute playing journey. I maintain a belief that Native American Style Flutes are bringing people together, building a common bond and a stronger sense of connection.

From the west coast of Canada to the East Coast of the United States, the flutes have forged another connection in this magical world that we live in. I just love these flutes.
