On the songs available below, I play Native American flute and guitar, sometimes alone, sometimes together, sometimes with other instruments.
I call myself Crazyquilt because that's what I am: a crazyquilt of musical expressions, of life experiences. I hope you enjoy what you hear.

Yes, that is a Native American flute, although played in the style of a shakuhachi. Add in singing bowls and a good beat, and there you have it. |

Native flute, drums, and Morricone-approved electric guitar.
As the sun rises over the desert, a single flutesong awakens, and flies from stone to sand to sky. When darkness falls, the final whisper of melody slips into silence. |

Native flute calls to the dark, and owlsong replies.
Dark of moon dances in the wise Crone's eyes. The ghost-white owl, Her messenger, sees in the dark, winging between the worlds of life and death -- reminding us that they are One World. |
