    I just remembered this video today and had to give it another watch. I stumbled upon this video as a kid and loved it. I'm glad to say it still holds up and even the jokes I remembered were still funny. Thanks for the video, man. You're like The Dude, but funny.

      He's totally right, though. This video was incredible. You could have made a top-notch performer in the entertainment industry, with points on your contracts and a multi-million-dollar quote. Or at least a public-access TV show!

    I love this man and his music. I met him about 20 years ago at Scarborough Fair and bought about 7 flutes from him over the years. I miss him.. wish he'd come back to the fair but I guess he got to popular and busy :( Gonna order some more from his website.

    I have no idea if you read it one day, but I really hope so you do.
    The fact that you create beautifully sounding flutes is obvious. But there is much more hidden in this story. I want you to know, I consider you an artist and a man of culture in every way. It's how you sneak your acting skills, weave various cultural themes and symbols, deserve for... I have no words. I think you have a beautiful soul. I would like to have such self-confidence someday. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, skills and sense of humor in such a fascinating way. Good bless you!
