I met R. Carlos Nakai at 19 at an event: "What is Native American?" he asked to varied answers. "Were you born on this continent?" Most hands up. "YOU ARE Native Americans." Here he is playing "Amazing Grace" on native flute. Apt for a #HappyThanksgiving youtube.com/1z6lA7NE04c

Oh wow, what a beautiful tone on that instrument, not to mention the playing. This is quite nice. Thank you for sharing.

He is a treasure indeed. And powerful, interesting person with deeply insightful thoughts he shared freely with us in Arizona. I'm so glad you liked it Sina! Beautiful, haunting, healing and the choice of a non-native hymn just tickled my fancy ;-)
