Nice one robin... what is your link to native america (wanted to ask you for a while)?
....Been dancing on the Pow Wow trail for nearly 40 years, both in the UK and across the pond. Consequently I have made many Native friends, some of whom view me as extended family. When my son passed on and I needed a divorce, I rushed off across the pond to stay with Native friends and came back with my first flute (traditionally a healing instrument as well as wooing the ladies) - Hence my music path.
@ Martin: Extremely tenous indeed! I'm pretty sure that Moon Bloodgood isn't Native but she is a joy to behold. Talking of Moon, this lady is Native:
There are some mighty fine Native women but they tend to be modest, at least, publicly! It's the traditional Native way.
