Bunkinisms

This episode is for the benefit of all the friends and family who think our little two year old Bunkin girl is quiet and never talks...

Inner Light

Just improvising with the 'nino again.  A little tune on the spot and a little tune from Star Trek.  Enjoy!

The Third Day with Flute

I was listening to The Third Day and realized it might sound good with a flute part, so I played around a bit, and here's what I came up with...
About halfway through I realized that the chords go crazy on this piece.  Whew!  You'll have to forgive me for the notes that are off.

Jam Session

One of the funnest things to do is get together with friends and have a Jam session.  I'm just lucky enough that my best friends are also family.  Ria and Jake are both incredible on the piano and flutes.
This was a unique jam session because all of the flutes played were made by Jake.  The solo piece Jake plays is also his original composition - and quite amazing.

Row, Row, Row Your Flute

I was having a little fun with the copy and paste function on my recording program.  Did you know Row Your Boat could be split into 8 parts?  It works - even with a tenor flute.  But finding that even a couple rounds of row your boat makes a pretty short podcast, I threw in a couple flute improvisations.  You'll have to excuse the little kid voice in the background - I guess my daughter wanted to be in the show.

Rain - with Words

This is the song Rain from Dayspring.  Maria Hathaway, my sister, wrote the words, and Shelly Hathaway, my other sister, is the singer.  I highly recommend that you take a look at their blogs and websites.  Both are incredibly talented individuals.  In addition to being an amazing singer, Shelly designs incredible websites.  In addition to being an incredible poet, Maria is an amazing artist.

Fun with Drums

A drum duo - me and my two-year-old daughter.  I'll let you figure out who's the cuter drummer.
