"I'm honored that people refer to me as a master, but like any musical
instrument, the flute is still teaching me. Every time I write a new song, I
learn something new on the flute. My music has become much more than I dreamed
and is more than just a musical journey, it's a spiritual journey as well. It
really is a gift from the Creator."
