I'm celebrating my birthday this year by live-streaming each day for 10 days, and *we're offering 43% OFF HORIZONS+ MEMBERSHIP AND A FREE T-SHIRT! bit.ly/HPM-BDAY*
You know, Jonny - the funniest thing happened - I thought I would definitely remember the gist of the song, at least enough to riff on it a bit when I got to the car, but when I did, it seems like I forgot all of it! Oh well - gotta watch the video again! Speaking of Senseis, Jonny - my original Sensei was Iida Sesshu Sensei, my Shakuhachi teacher when I studied in Japan on a cultural activities visa. Iida Sensei was a second generation Shakuhachi maker by trade - I was making what I called Shakuhachis before I went to Japan, but when I saw the flutes that Iida Sensei was making, all my flutes seemed to be mere toys in comparison. Although Iida Sensei never took me on formally as his apprentice, I nevertheless managed to learn quite a bit about flutes and flute making from him, just by personal study and observation, a habit that I would later use to focus on the Pan Flute when I studied under Damian Luca.
I am very excited to have found you and your channel. I play the silver flute and Native American flutes when my husband and I lead worship at our church here in NM.
I didn't know you were a Cancer, Jonny Sensei! One feeling I got when I was watching this video is that there is virtually infinite adjustability when it comes to the embellishments, and also that there are so many possible permutations, combinations of embellishments out there that it's almost impossible to say that some are "right" and others are "wrong". I suppose that the ultimate test of whether an embellishment is good lies in how it sounds - if it sounds cool, keep it! Yes, I do recall the video you made before of you playing that very same song - on that very same Heartsong Port Orford Cedar F# flute too, I believe. You really inspired me with this video, Jonny Sensei - I think I will go out to my car and try to play at least what I can remember or conjure up of this song on my Palo Escrito G flute before I go to bed tonight. Thanks!
Thank you for all your kind words! I'm betting you can play much of this by ear. Yes, embellishments being what they are, they are slightly different each time based on the venue and intent from the player.
This is a wonderful offering. Thank you for your clear and easy to follow explanations and demos. Much appreciated. I'd love to know what the flute is that you are using here.....maker, wood, key, etc.??

Thanks so much for tuning in! This flute is an F# in Port Orford Cedar from JP Gomez of Heartsong Flutes.
@@JonnyLipford So much appreciate your reply. Thank you !😍
What key is that flute you have played in this introduction? I like it!
That was an A flute from Native Sunrise. You can find them here in our design your own collection: www.horizonsflutestore.com/products/native-sunrise-flutes-design-your-own-flute-a4-native-american-style-flutes
@@JonnyLipford no wonder I like it! I got a used one from you and love it. Thinking of getting another in a different key. Do like that A!

Parley, sage, rosemary and thyme?
That would be a good one for this flute!
@@JonnyLipford Joke. Seasoned players....
So very nice Jonny.. you have got way too many flutes...lol
A tour of the full collection would be quite interesting.

Probably need to do one of those again, as my collection has changed.
