Wayfaring Stranger on Bm Flute played by Maria Calfa-DePaul


musician/member name: Music
Duration: 00:03:07
description:
I love the tone of this flute. So happy that is wonderful flute maker Gray Fox Flutes creates these beautiful instruments by hand and offers them at prices that have enabled me to enjoy them.
This is a public domain song transcribed by Marsha Harris from the book shown in the video. I attached a mic to the flute for the reverb and attached that to a little mini amp.
Thanks for watching
My flute journey began on April 14, 2016. Today is May 23, 2016


see my soundcloud page for this song and some dulcimer that I added to it!

I usually practice harmonica while driving alone. But I'll give the CD a go.  

Yes, try it...and it's probably safer lol!!

Maria

Golly gee, Maria, you were right, I didn't have even one wreck driving home last night.

Maria, I took delivery on John Vames book volume 1, approximately a month ago.  I've been way way to busy to really get into the book yet, but after some page flipping, it appears to be the real deal.

 

I am not surprised that you are loving the NAF.  

 

John's books are GREAT!! I learned so much and the cd that's included is worth the price alone: one because he describes everything you need to do and plays an example. Second: he plays a bunch of songs at the end that are just great to listen to. I listened to this cd for about 3 weeks straight on my way to work and back!!

 

let me know what you think?!

Terry Wilson:

Absolutely beautiful, Maria.

 

It's kind of interesting the direction of each NAF player , concerning songs.

 

Pine states:  "I don't know a single cover song."

 

"The only songs I know are cover songs."

 

While I do practice just playing up and down the sound holes, 90% of my practice are cover songs.  Mostly songs I play on dulcimer.

 

Interesting.   Perhaps I need to learn some traditional NAF songs.

 

Again, nice song Maria.

 

Terry,

Wow you are so kind to say that!! 

I appreciate it and most of the songs I've been playing have come from a wonderful book called "Understanding the Gift" vol 1 and 2. It's written by a man named John Vames (who sadly passed away 6 years ago) It's really the way I learned to play and I'm so grateful that I bought it!!

Take care

Maria

I don't know a single "cover song". This is one of my alltime favorites. Time for me to learn this I guess!

Fine job Maria...I agree, the Grey Fox flute has great tone and you did it justice!

So haunting and beautiful.....

 

OH that makes me feel so good. Thanks so much. And yes, this is a great song for the NA Flute~!~

thanks again

I think it gives a hauntingly beautiful sound which I believe is inherent in the song itself.

Benjamin thanks so much and yes this song does have such a haunting tone. I think that's why it works so well with the NA flute. Especially a low tone one!

thanks so much for watching
