I was learning how to play an alto recorder when this shot was taken at camp.
I learned how to play so many instruments there, as well as how to sing about a million songs. I also learned how to play music and sing with others.
The most important thing I learned was about being in a community that told stories around the campfire, and came together in song. This was something that our ancestors knew very well, but is so lost in the modern world to so many.
I discovered that being a musician was who I was and am in my soul, and not what I do....

I love this, what a great photo. My mother played recorder, and now I have hers.. it's always had a lot of meaning to me. :-)
